CUSTOM CRAWLER

Built for DoorFall Search.
Included FREE.

The crawler is the engine behind your index. It discovers pages from the websites you approve, respects crawling rules, extracts useful content and keeps your search index fresh.

✓ Sitemap discovery✓ robots.txt aware✓ Smart URL discovery✓ Automatic recrawling ✓ Page limits & exclusions✓ Retry scheduling✓ Slow-page protection✓ Source health monitoring ✓ Missing-page handling✓ Crawl history
Transparent when a page cannot be crawled. DoorFall reports robots.txt blocks, HTTP restrictions, rate limits, timeouts, oversized pages and pages without enough indexable content instead of silently failing.

How DoorFall Search works

Four steps from websites to search results.

01

Choose your sources

Test websites before adding them. Set category, priority, maximum pages, exclusions and recrawl frequency.

02

Crawl & extract

The crawler discovers allowed pages, extracts useful content and safely moves past pages it should skip.

03

Build your index

Content is stored in your own database and prepared for fast local search and relevance ranking.

04

Deliver results

Visitors get focused results from your selected sources, with source diversity preventing one site from taking over.

You stay in control

Decide what belongs in your search engine.

DoorFall Search is not a black-box hosted search service. You control the sources, crawling, ranking, quality, presentation and monetization from your own Admin area.

  • Test a website before adding it
  • Set source priority and maximum pages
  • Pause sources without losing queued URLs
  • Exclude unwanted URL patterns
  • Choose automatic recrawl intervals
  • Refresh source favicons without recrawling

Search Quality

Find missing titles, missing descriptions and thin content, then clean individual pages or bulk-remove them from the index.

Ranking & Diversity

Use source weighting and configurable diversity to keep results relevant while preventing one website from dominating.

Analytics

Track searches, zero-result rate, organic clicks, API/sponsored clicks and the searches your visitors perform most often.

More than website crawling

Extend, monetize and brand the search engine.

API

Custom API connectors

Connect JSON APIs with configurable authentication, requests, field mapping and result placement.

FEED

Awin product feeds

Import relevant affiliate products and mix matching sponsored results into searches.

ADS

Advertising

Use homepage, top-results and in-results ad positions with code from the advertising provider you choose.

SEO

SEO & Static Pages

Control metadata and branding and create About, Privacy, Terms and other public pages.

DATA

Analytics & click tracking

Understand what people search for, where they click and where your index has content gaps.

OWN

Self-hosted ownership

PHP + MySQL on your server. Your index, sources, settings and operational data remain under your control.
