Navigation Features
- Integrated search
- Complete website-wide searching is built into Miru.
- Integrated Table of Contents
- All Miru websites have an integrated Table of Contents capability, which allows you to see the entire site hierarchy for quick access.
- Permalink support
- Websites change, and rearrange. Every page in a Miru website also has a permalink, which makes it possible for someone to link to that page even if it has been moved to a different location of your website. Permalinks are also shortened, to ensure they will work in email messages without wrap-breaking.
Permalinks are automatically generated for every page. Miru also offers a named permalink option called a Moniker.
- Moniker support
- Monikers are named permalinks. You assign one or more monikers to a page, and then you can access it using a special URL pattern;
http://www.mysite.com/@mymonikerMonikers are used to allow easy access to content from outside of the website. This allows you to preserve links from other websites and even non-web applications, even when just a portion of a webpage is moved.
- Explicit links vs. implicit links
- Miru supports both explicit and implicit linking.
Explicit links are normal URLs; if the page does not exist, you get a standard
404 error.
Implicit links first look at the explicit URL, but the the page is not found there,
a particular search algorthm is followed to locate the page.
Implicit links always end with
?find
