It looks like it can be used as a browser applet to search docs on the intranet, as you imagined. This site (http://www.brownsite.net/docsearch.htm) has a little bit about using it as a web interface. Lucene (which DocSearcher uses) has info (http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/gettingstarted.html) that is relevant, too. I'm really pushed for time at the moment, but when possible I'll delve further into it. In other words, I intend to package package DocSearcher as a browser applet for Lex, but if there's anyone with better expertise who wants to: feel free! Also interested to hear any advice on this that anyone might have before I begin. Matt
