seaarch engine

[CoolMama]

I have looked through lots of ASP.NET books and can't find one that will show me how to create a search engine. Why?

Specifically, I need to build a search engine that scans a number of folders for files that contain a submitted keyword. It could also scan the database that the file links are located in. Specifically it should scan HTML, DOC and PDF if possible.

What I have are 2 existing free downloaded search engines written in ASP/VB. One searches only HTML and the other searches HTML and DOC. But the one that searches DOC writes the entire file path as a result which makes reading through the results difficult. As a temporary fix, I was going to alter the search engine for DOCs to truncate the path so only the file name is written in the results.

But as a final solution, designed for my specific needs, I was trying to find examples of search engines, or a book, that could lead me to writing my own search engine in ASP.NET/C#.
