Hi,

I need a PHP based search. Just the backend script, no need for any special user interface or design. I want a simple search script that searches through the entire files in the server. The server contains html documents, word documents, and PDF documents.

The script should search through all the files and also the CONTENT inside the word and PDF documents, and display the results in a neat format.

Bottomline: This php script should search through html, text, word and pdf documents located on the entire server and display it in a neatly organized format. A simple search engine.

1. Should search through txt, and html files...
2. Should search through word documents....
3. Should search through PDF documents...
4. Search should NOT be case sensitive, If I search for "hello", and if I search for "HeLLo", it should show the same results.
5. If multiple words are used to search, it has to use the space as a delimiter and search each word individually and display the results. It's like a typical search engine.

6. When it shows the results
- the name of the file should be displayed
- the path of the file should be displayed right under it.
- You can just click on it and go directly to that particular file

The PDF and WORD document search is very important.

Please let me know if someone has such a script done already !


Thankyou

Eek !! that's a pro level one searching a PDF isn't possible without special scripts and permissions. Word is pretty much the same - so many versions and coding.

Whatever you've got into I'd walk away and apologise, it's really not viable. Unless your an MS developer and and Adobe one too.

both pdf and word now have all that drm technology built in so they are encoded documents, even if you found a way to search them it will be increadably slow.

plain text files like html, txt,rtf ect you should be abble to find a search script for those.
