Happy Holidays  & Great New Year...

Has anyone encountered a search tool that is EDI aware?
It could build a database of all EDI documents in certain folders (or the 
entire Drive or server)

All of this can be done manually, using the knowledge of various folders and 
existing tools.  Some of the more expensive tools keep this data internally, 
but I am looking for a stand-alone search tool to help in my EDI work...

The problem is that the existing tools are 'brute' force, and don't know how 
EDI documents are structured.  Using Windows 'Search', SR.exe or 'Agent 
Ransack' to find ISA will also find 'sisal' in the body of a PO.  Using tools 
like grep or regexp also work, but are not simple (and still require knowledge 
of X12 EDI).

I know that there are a few tools that can be used to view specific EDI 
documents, but I am looking for a tool that could find ALL EDI documents on a 
drive.

Theoretically, a Google Search Plugin could be written to crawl the drive 
looking for X12 EDI files and build indexes.


Any ideas?  Have you been looking for the same thing?

thanks
