I wrote something like this once. It wasn't very fun. My model was mod_index (sorta) and George Sanderson's Apache::OpenIndex. I worked in some hooks to RCS via the Rcs.pm module so that I could archive different versions of files. I quit the company before I got around to indexing and searching, but it wouldn't be that hard, either using MySQL and full-text searches or maybe some "real" indexing engine (like maybe ht://Dig). It took me a few months, but rolling my own taught me a lot and gave my employers just what they were looking for (I guess). ky
