I'm looking at building an interactive desktop gadget for our company computers that functions similar to Clippy (less annoying though).
The idea is for users to be able to type in keywords or questions and have the gadget present links to pages on our intranet. So similar to a search engine but more focused on answering questions as opposed to just returning a hundred results.
I've got a moderate understanding of java so I know I could do something like IF "Textbox" EQUALS "Keyword" THEN DO "THAT". Need a little more sophistication though, it should be able to accept multiple keywords and weigh the search results accordingly. I'm sort of picturing an updatable XML table like this:
KEYWORD This is the result
KEYWORD This is the result
Or an array in a separate .js file.
Maybe there's a better way than that actually but it's what I know. Has anyone got some advice on this? Thanks.
