>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?
