how to implement a simple site search

[Mark Kamoski]

Hi--

Please help.

How can one implement a simple site search for an ASP.NET site that
consists of ASPX and ASCX content pages?

I have a small site (of less than 100 content pages). The content pages are
of type ASPX and ASCX.

I know that one way is to simply put the context text into a database and
then run the search against that database.

However, the site currently has the content directly in the ASPX and ASCX
pages. Therefore, it looks like a parsing exercise.

But, I am hoping someone has already come up with a solution to this sort
of problem.

Any ideas?

Add a COM reference to Index Server and run queries against your site.
The COM progId to query with is Cisso.CissoQuery. You can create an
index catalog via the Index Server snapin for MMC.

I'm not sure I'd put "content" in a database, but that's just me :-).
There are still other ways available to you. For instance, you could
point a 3rd party crawler to your site (like Google) and use Google to
index and query your site.

Have a look here:

OK, great. That's interesting and I could use that on some projects, where I have control and access to Index Server, IIS, and the rest of the
nuts-and-bolts of the architecture.

However, for my current project, I have to deal with a 3rd party host, where I do not have direct access to IIS and Index Server and so on.

It is looking more and more like I should push my content into the
database, where it can be searched. Pages will get build dynamically. Et cetera.

If you have any other ideas, please post them.

Thank you.
