Re: Is using htdig with Frontpage 2003 possible?

Julia,

If you are really ambitious and want to help the win32 version of 
libhtdig along it will work.  You'll have to code a data importer in C/C++ that 
calls C functions to insert pseudo-documents.  At that point the standard 
search interface works.

Otherwise you REALLY might be better off starting with something like 
mnoGoSearch (http://mnogosearch.org/).... from their website's description 
they use a MYSQL database as the data storage basis of their engine.

This would allow you to take a look at their table schema and insert the 
appropriate rows in to appropriate tables and make it dance.

The other issue is the 'items' you will be returning.  Search results 
are a list of links.  You'll have to alter the search results to provide a 
some kind of action to take on the item since there is no webpage link to 
provide.

Have you tried looking on freshmeat.net for a product catalog with 
searching ability?

Thanks!
