LocalSearch
A search engine for intranets and home computers


LocalSearch is a search engine mainly designed for intranets, but can also be used
to search files on your home computer. It searches through all ".txt" and ".html" / ".htm" 
documents in the directories you specify as "Paths" and all subdirectories to those.
I use it myself to search the Java documentation and shared files onour intranet 
- so that I e.g. can run a search for all documents containingthe words "Applet" and "Web" 
or "Winzip".

To do this I specify "C:\Programming\Java\jdk\docs\"and "//DKIK-MONITOR/SHARES/"
as Paths and "C:\ProgramFiles\netscape\Program\netscape.exe" as the Browser
The program will then use netscape to display the documents when you double-click on it's name.
"DKIK-MONITOR" is a computer on our intranet that has "SHARES" as a shared directory.

When searching, the program will go through all ".txt" and ".html" /".htm" documents in 
subdirectories to "C:\Programming\Java\jdk\docs\"and "//DKIK-MONITOR/SHARED/"

You can add as many Paths as you like
