Re: I'm looking for a search engine for a text-oriented CD I want to publish

Have you seen the search interface for the newest
version of Acrobat.  I think it's better than the
previous versions.  (This is based on my recollection
of a demo I saw earlier this year.)

I used version 4 to create a similar searchable index
of 100+ newsletters a few years back.  I agree that
the interface was in-elegant, but it got the job done.

At that time I didn't see another cost-effective
search on CD solution.  The best I saw at that time
was dtsearch which is cost prohibitive for small-run
CD projects.

Has anyone done a similar indexing/search project with
Acrobat 7?
