Thanks for the evaluation info!

>>Hi Frank,
>>It would be helpful if you could help me identify any shortcomings in the FoxWeb full-text search. To me, it looks promising. Although it's probably geared to the web, it looks generic enough to use anywhere. It also has a re-index command you could issue after additions are made...
>>>Thanks Claude, I'll look into those utilities.

This time around, I'll probably use this free search class from the folks at Foxweb: http://www.foxweb.com/fwFullText/ . Also, I believe you could find a similar search engine in the WWC discussion forum..
