search data from lots o' xml documents at once

I have 2400 xml documents, all following the same DTD.

I would like to do google-type searching against these documents where
my users can pick from 3 fields (say title, bodytext, and signedby) and
do free-text searches on the data.

Ideally, I'd give them a results set that looks a lot like the google
interface. I am open to any suggestion that doesn't involve
installation of new software on my server (because the admin people
will never allow it).

Google has a lot of tools with lots of interfaces so I have no idea what
particular interface you have in mind.
As for searching XML documents I don't think client-side DOM is feasable
for searching 2400 different XML documents sitting on the server.

OK, let's say I want it to look like the standard google search-results
page you get when you type in google.com.

And instead of 2400 documents, let's say I have 24.

Let's say you let us know exactly what is available to you right now
for this "Google search".
You say "no new software" on your server, yet you haven't specified
what is *already* on the server (if anything).

If you want your results to look like google then copy Google's HTML.
It's all right there in the page.

And please try to include some content from the message you're
replying to when you post.

.... and don't top post.

Trying to use the 'search' in the docs section of PostgreSQL.org is extremely SLOW. Considering this is a website for a database and databases are supposed to be good for indexing content, I'd expect a much faster performance. I submitted my search over two minutes ago. I just finished this email to the list. The results have still not come back. I only searched for: SECURITY INVOKER

What options are available for doing full-text searches of database data without using a database-specific full-text engine?

Hi all, I keep uploaded documents (DOC / XLS / PDF / ...) in a SQL2000/2005-database as a binary in an image data-typed field.

I really want to keep the documents in the SQL-database because

Hi All, I have a requirement to develop a search engine based on some search criteria that will search for the string or statement in all the documents uploaded in the website. The search result will be displayed same as the Google Group search, with highlighted texts. I have few questions: 1. What will be the logic to implement? 2. The documents that will be uploaded in the website will be saved in the datbase or not?
