Hi all, I'm working on a project that uses HTML files as its primary documentation for users (on UNIX machines). When a user accesses the help system, a browser is launched to display the HTML files that reside on the user's local machine.
We want this help system to be searchable. I setup htdig to parse local files, etc, and it's working fine. The problem is that I want the htdig system to be available even though there isn't a web server running. The solutions I've thought of so far are: 1) Write a java applet that displays a search form and calls htdig applications. The problem with this is that web browsers and java are setup to not allow arbitrary binaries to be called from an applet so I don't think this will work. 2) Write a netscape plugin that presents the search form, processes the results by spawning htdig processes, and sends the results back to the browser. While I think this would work, it seems to be fairly complicated and I'm not sure I want to spend that much time on it. Has anyone implemented a system like this? Any ideas?
