Hi Dan, I hope you get over the flu soon.--- IANAD and I don't play one on TV, but rest and fluids are recommended!

The BBoard search from the old photo.net will help.  I also wonder if there is a somewhat manual way to set up a search for content.  I envision running the static html files through a program that will
capture from (Meta Name="keywords"...).  Then when someone does a search, they get the list of docs that have these keywords.  Also
it would be good to record the search words that a user has entered so that when they get nothing, we can add and tweek the search table.

Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, has anyone done this?
Even when we have the full text search, it would be nice to
have this edit feature to help users get quickly to the most
relevant content.
