Sounds pretty straight-forward, though you probably want to have some 
sort of automatically-generated index for these attributes. I don't 
know of any pre-packaged system for this, but you could easily hire 
someone with knowledge of Perl or Python to write some sort of CGI 
that would generate these indexes on-the-fly.

You probably want to use the <meta name="keywords" content="..."> tag 
as well as the <meta name="description" content="..."> tags. These 
are standard tags and interpreted by almost all search engines, 
ht://Dig included. You'll find information on them in almost any HTML 
guide. Basically, you'll probably want to convert the text files to 
at least minimal HTML and put them up in appropriate places in your 
Apache DocumentRoot.

See the search.html file that was installed. If you don't know where 
it ended up, see installdir/search.html in the source directory, 
though this version will need to be edited to reflect the 
installation paths you chose.

Offhand, this isn't the best forum for these questions. This mailing 
list is for ht://Dig developer discussion. You'll probably get better 
response from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Most of us are also 
on that, but there are obviously more users than developers! :-)
