Hi,

I need a search for the intranet i am building. I know that it is possible to do this using asp.net. - I think this is the path i want to go down. --but what if some of the pages are html?

What is involved?
Are there scripts you can download?
Do you have to somehow index all the pages?

My site uses frames, so how would it be able to show pages that come up in search results? ( creating individual framesets for every page on the site is not an option)
do you have any useful links for info i can read up on?

I have searched the archives - but am lacking more detailed info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

hi,


i think there might be a script on http://www.hotscripts.com
and, i dont think the page format matters but, i am no expert at ASP.net so, i cant tell you for sure.

you could ask for the script on the ASP http://forums.webdeveloper.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=9 perhaps they can help you create the script and answer your question more fully.

hope i was of some help.

You might want to take a look at http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom if you haven't already.

They provide a search engine package that is available in either ASP, PHP and even JavaScript (ie: no webserver requirements at all). You might want to take a look at the javascript option because it will be the easiest to install and ideal for an intranet website.

If you intend to host it on the Internet however - ie: a public website - you will have to consider server-side options such as ASP and PHP.
