Hi all family members,<br /><br />I am new to TCH (just sign up for 2 days)!! Hello to all of you! <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <br /><br />Does anybody know how to set up a full text search engine so that people can search the content inside my files (most are microsoft word, excel, etc)? I tried isearch but it only indexes html files.<br /><br />I want to set up a kind of library, and I know that there are a few apps which do the full text indexing by installing a running process on the server (e.g., inktomi and mnogosearch). But I don't think I am allowed to do so on a shared hosting server... <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /><!--content-->
Hi,<br /><br />Welcome to the family <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />I have not tried any search engine to do this. <br /><br />Doing a google search there are a number of possibilities but it would seem best to use one of the packages that creates an index offline, and then enables searching through a Java script.<br /><br />I'm sure someone with a bit more knowledge will be a along shortly though <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Andy<!--content-->
