Detailed Description

Seamus is a Search Engine Aggregation Module Utilizing Syndication.

The Venexus Seamus module is an aggregation module that will crawl/spider your DotNetNuke portal (Tabs, Modules, Folders, and Files), external websites (including non-DotNetNuke websites), and any RSS feed. Seamus is used to "gather" information from the DotNetNuke installation, as well as from external resources using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and traditional crawling methods.

Seamus can be added to every page on the website easily with DotNetNuke and for each page the module resides, it will be indexed as soon as a user loads the page. Seamus will keep the index updated by comparing the indexed content to the current page at specific time intervals. If the page has been updated, the index will automatically be updated as well.

Currently, Seamus can alse extract data from the following modules:

DNN Announcements
DNN Contacts
DNN Events
DNN FAQ
DNN Links
DNN Text/HTML

We will continue to add support for other modules, including 3rd party modules, to Seamus. If you have a specific module that you would like for us to include in the index, please let us know.

In addition to indexing all sites in a DNN installation, Seamus will also aggregate RSS feeds to be indexed.
