Reading head content

[Phonez]

Is there a way to read the head content on your pages to provide your own google type search utility. I have seen ones knocking around but I just wondered if it is possible to do yourself in asp

Thanks in advance

You may be able to use index server to index all your HTML documents so that you can query them

Sorry, might be me being stupid but what is index server, i've never heard of it?

You mentioned asp, so i took a wild guess and thought you may have index server. I think it gets installed by default when you install IIS ( the server software required to run asp pages etc)

Index server can go thruogh a specified directory and catalog all the files you have in that directory/sub dir. Well once it has finished you can use it to search (with a language similar to SQL) for filename, filesize etc. It gets really good when you use it with Word Documents because it can get to information such as Keywords, Author, Title, Description, Last modified. It is very good, I use it to index all my MP3's so that I can search and downlaod them from the web. You will have to check if it can pull thing like keywords, title etc from htm pages and asp pages though. There are lots of example code and stuff on the web.

Can you search the text within the files as well
