The only free search tool generally available is WAIS which, while not bad, is kind of difficult to administer and does not mate well with SGML. But then, there are very few *commercial* search tools that mate well with SGML either. So to get what you want, you'll probably have to write it. Since I am a tired old full-text-search guy, Lark takes fanatical care to keep track of the byte offsets of everything; so there will be at least one parser that would be useful in such an effort. The fact that Lark doesn't look at DTD's nor check conformance is not an issue at indexing time. >I would also intend to use a graphically-based query if possible as well >as a commandline.

I've never seen a graphical search query GUI that was useful. - Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
