Hello world,

How do you implement a Google-like search utility in a FoxPro application? I assume someone has figured this out already.

In case my question is not perfectly clear, I will elaborate here. I want a search utility that presents the end user with a single field, in which the end user can type in one or more key worlds, hit enter, and quickly generate a results browse. The single field can accomodate individual words, phrases in quotation marks, and combinations of the two.

The search results are usually right on (as good as the selected key words), and the results are delivered FAST.

If you want to get fancy, you could support basic and advanced search operators like Google (see http://www.google.com/help/basics.html and http://www.google.com/help/operators.html).

I assume someone has figured this out already. Maybe I am not finding the answer because I am not searching for the right key words! What are the right key words in FoxPro terminology?

Thanks,

Rick
