[dba-VB] "Smart" fulltext search on large documents(data)base...

Hi Doug --

Thank you for your feedback/interest.

I plan to implement a  simple WinForms client next week using Google API +
Google Docs.
I have got already loaded 1000+ docs on my free GoogleDocs account and I
have checked how full-text search is working with that stuff when used from
within browser. It works well although when a document is found the words
are not highlighted - I thought about making not only Google API/Google Docs
+ WinForms Client but also a Browser control embedded into a WinForm to
simplify browsing of found results. Because of the lack of automatic
highlighting of the search target words that solution looks a bit
problematic now - I will probably have to implement also custom highlighting
within browsing control - some DOM programming will be needed probably..

Thank you.

Shamil,

Very innovative approach. Good use of the low cost and high power offered by
the "Cloud" services. I'll be interested in how this comes out.

Hi All --

I have a task to implement a system providing "smart" fulltext search over a
large base of text documents.
My current plan is to use Google Docs.

I plan to get in the future 80 GB ($20.00 USD per year) hosted space on
GoogleDocs, put all the subject docs there, and then use Google API to
search via my documents base.

That seems to be it?

It should be even possible to create a simple (free?) Google Web Site as
front-end to that GoogleDocs documents base?

That GoogleDocs base/site is planned to be used by non-profit organization.

Am I missing something? 
Additional overhead costs to keep that solution's stuff on Google site?

And why I'm writing about that solution here in dba-VBA? - because I plan to
implement a front-end to that application system as an WinForms application
coomunicating with Windows API...

Thank you.
