IDKSM Search Engine (version 1.0)

IDKSM is a full text search engine designed to work with
HTML files. It 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
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.

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. Future versions of the
Indexer will be designed to work directly with standard text
files so that you can use components other then HTML
components. In fact you can currently get around this now if
you first index HTML version of your content. Then you can
change the actual file the database points to to be anything
you wish. A file with Rich Text or whatever and handle the 
processing of this text in whatever way you wish. The only
part of the HTML file that is needed is the Title tag found
in the Header of the HTML file.

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.
