Raj -
I have implemented three flavors of this. They have varying degrees of complexity,
speed, and flexibility. I will paint the overall picture and if you have specific
questions, let me know.
I have implemented a search using the API. It runs through all of the postings and
searches for the text in question. While it is thorough, it is not relying on indexing
and can be a little slow. Also, it does not search items in the Resource Gallery -
i.e., PDFs - though I am sure this can be accomplished with the correct filter and a
little code.
I have implemented SharePoint purely as a search engine. While there were constraints
that made this a bit more painful than it needed to be, setting up the search was
relatively straightforward. It is indexed, so it is a bit faster than the other
solution at finding results, and a pdf filter was used to provide full text search for
these documents as well.
Finally, I have implemented a Verity search. This also was fairly straightforward. It
did not have any problems with licensing keys, etc.
One little trick we used to make the indexing "more reliable" was to build a page that
was not rendered to end users, but that dynamically included a link to every channel,
posting, and Resource Gallery item in the site, and pointed the search engine to that
for indexing.
Thanks.
Bill

Subject: [cms-list] MS CMS2002 full text search with API
People
Anyone tried implementing a full text search for the MSCMS2002
created site with the COM API coming with MSCMS2002? I found only
the Searches object in their COM API with searches for posting,
channels, resources, templates and users with a criteria.
MondoSearch seems to be a bit complicated as it checks their site
for license and all other nonsense. Anyother simpler search
implementation available specialised for MSCMS2002?
Thanks in advance.
