Andrew, I happened to get news of something today that may interest you regarding your desire to add search functionality to your site. No, it's not free, but it's cheap. Actually, I learned of it on bitsdujour.com, a site that offers daily discounts on a single low-cost software product (and the ones they offer solve all kinds of different problems, so it's worth checking out).
The tool in this case is "Zoom". You can find a concise summary of it at the bdj site: http://bitsdujour.com/blog2/wordpress/?p=266 /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Scott Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 6:06 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Vspider or jspider or something else Charlie, Thanks for your reply, I did look at that one last night and found that after I read my documentation closer, the requirements to this job are very simple. 1) Crawl the web, n levels deep as well as filter with an exclude list. 2) Parse the html 3) n Extract documents (Such forms as PDF's, word etc) at this stage I am assuming total extraction as there is a requirement to store on the HD, but I am going to maybe try to talk them out of this option. I have no problem coding this, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there is already an open source or commercial solution that could be used instead.
