Hi all!

Quick question, will links search existing pages on your site. For example if I have a site about articles on chairs and I add links sql will the search results in links include existing pages already on the site?

Hi

No Links will only include searches on information in the database. If you want to include the existing pages you'll have to put a record in the database for each of them along with the URL & other information relevant to the search.

Is adding a record hard to do? I am a novice at this.

No.

The software runs on records held in the database. You or your registered users are able to add records.

Have you looked at the demo?

I know about records I was wondering if adding existing pages that are out of the database. For example if I add Links to my existing site can I get it to search pages I already have along with the database pages?

No

Not unless you add them as records. The software searches the database.

Is there a page spidering plugin you can get that will add pages to the record so I don't have to add them in manually?

There are 2 spiders. Both are in the plugin section. Not sure if they'll do everything you want though.
