Hi

I think the best way to create a search algorithm is to use the META data tags. It's what they are there for. I usually use the keywords meta description to index the keyterms for that document, and then I can use

get-meta-tags (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.get-meta-tags.php)
to read the information.

To extract the meta data from the files. Alternatively you could use a DB driven approach, that may be more appropriate for a CMS.

Hope this is of some help
