IDKSM Search Engine (version 1.3)

Fourth release of the utility.

IDKSM is a full text search engine designed to work with
HTML files and ASCII text files. With this release it is
also possible to essentially index any type of file you
wish. Just create an ASCII text file which represents the
content of the file you wish to index and then index this
text file but tell the Indexer to link to the original file.
This lets you index graphic, video, audio, pdf just about
any kind of file you can think of.

IDKSM consists of an Indexer that process the
HTML files and creates a database. It uses runtime engines
to access this database for doing keyword searches. It does
boolean searches which returns a hit list of files that
contain the words being searched.

This hit list consists of the Title of the HTML document or
the title set for the ASCII file (see Help) and the path+filename
of the file in question. The runtime engine is available as
a .dcu file and can be used in any manner you see fit. I have
included a sample application that uses the .dcu along with
a precompiled database to see it in action.

It was originally designed to be used with Java and a standard
web browser. The Java version of the runtime engine is also
included in the release. It is a Java 1.0.2 applet that works
with any Java aware browser. A sample Java setup is included
as well.

A DLL version is also supplied for use with any language that
can access a DLL.

Also with this release you will find CGI versions for use in
a Windows based web server and also a Java Servlet version.

The Delphi version was written to be used with Dave Bear's
THTMLViewer component. I have created several products using
this layout with great success.

The Indexer is shareware but the runtime engines are royalty
free. The shareware version of the Indexer is fully functional
but will only process 10 files. The registered version will
work with as many files as you wish. I have created products
that used 2,000 files with no problems.

See the changes.txt file for what was modified and added to
this release.
