database (not with Ultraseek). This is an outsourced project, so that's not
my search. The full-text search goes to our search engine, which spiders
that site.
I've asked the questions about the pdfs. But the people that create them say
they can't pinpoint any commonalities in the ones that don't show up.
There's a group of people that create them, and they can't limit it to one
person, or one version of Acrobat Distiller, or anything.
Harumph.
(Oh, and our whole site seems to have just gone down, which is why you got
nothing on the full text search.)
