You can also have directories of files on your server indexed
periodically, using the type "Filepath on server".

    Indexing configuration for a directory


Again, the options are either easy to understand or your can read more
about them in the Context Sensitive Help.

**Location:** The Indexed Search configuration should be located on a not-
in-menu page, just like the "External URL" type required. Same
reasons; results are bound to a page in the page tree.

The process of indexing a directory of files is the same as for the
external URL: For each directory a) all files are indexed and b) all
sub-directories added to the crawler queue for later processing. This
is shown in the crawler log:

When processing is done the result is shown in the Web > Info, "Indexed
search":
