Aegis Group, the makers of FoxWeb, are proud to announce the availability of the FoxWeb Full-Text Search Engine for Visual FoxPro. This VFP class can be used to facilitate fast and efficient full-text searches in FoxPro tables. This FoxWeb Full-Text Search Engine was developed to provide full-text search capabilities for the FoxWeb Forum, but is now provided for free to the FoxPro community.
In order to support this full-text searching, the class creates an index, mapping each word contained in the one or more text field(s) in the source table. The fields being indexed may contain either plain text, or HTML data. In the case of HTML data, all HTML tags are removed before indexing the remaining text.
