Subject: Creating A Search Form
Posted By: cdenequolo Post Date: 9/18/2003 8:51:44 AM
I want to create a search Form for a directory on my intranet where users enter words and it searches the directory. Returns the results as a link so users can open the documents.
No idea how to do this can someone help?

Thanks

My guess is you will need to use the FileSystemObject (Microsoft Scripting Runtime).  This is a pain to use from ASP, but doable.  Are you looking to do a Full-Text Search on documents?  If so, you will need to use a Full-Text Search tool.  The 'free' tool is Microsoft Indexing Server (comes standard in Windows 2000 and XP).

How would the users access this service?

Assuming the files are on a server, they wouldn't need to.  The Indexing Service can be accessed remotely.
