Hi Robocop,

You may want to look into other options but theres 2 other main ones i use:

Is a text file based starting point. (Searches through any ASCII document, HTML/TXT/ASP/etc.)

Or dependind on your server platform you may be able to use Index Server.

Is a userful article to get you started.

Hope they help.

Sure other users may be able to suggest other ways.

But along with the DB option theyre the 2 I usually go with.

Here's something similar, as a VBScript. Obviously you could convert this to an ASP search rather easily.
