I produce a Reference CD with about 8000 files on it. It is really a series of Dreamweaver front pages with links to the documents.
I want to put a search engine box that will search all the documents for various words on the home page and display the results i.e. the word medical.
Is this an easy thing to do or complicated? I have limited programming knowledge. I was hoping Dreamweaver would do it for me with a few easyish steps.
Thanks
Doug

do you want it to search through the CD or is this based on a server?

Hi. Thanks. This is on a server normally that people access for the information but I burn off a snapshot of the information and put on to both a CD and a DVD. So really for both.
This obviously complicates matters?

Yep, it does somewhat...
Ordinarily, you'd have the online data stored in a database and use a scripting language like PHP to do the searching.
For the CD, one option would be to make an offline HTML site and have a CSV or tab deliminated file that stores the title, keywords etc. and links to the independant HTML files. You could then use javascript to do the searching.
Flash may be another option...
But I bet there are easier ways, like a cut-down file search application?
