Hello,
in or webhelp we have been using
Javascript Offline Search library for some time (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsofflinesearch/) with
success. You can have a look here how it works: http://www.aipsafe.cz/files/tutorial/index.html.
It is a java library which indexes set of
html files and builds a javascript index. It has some nice features – you
can use boolean operators or search for phrase. More importantly it also implementes
basic stemming. The only issue is
that it does not support other characters then basic ascii, so we had to alter
the code to be able to index character with diacritics and ouput index files in
UTF-8.
No packages have been released yet, but you
can donwload it from svn and compile it yourself. It is then easy to automate
the indexing process for example using ant. The only thing you have to do is to
generate a xml file with list of all resulting html files to index which is
then passed to the java library. This can be done in your customization layer
during docbook source files processing.
If you are interested I can prepare a
package (basicaly xslt template for generating files to index) to share with the DocBook community and
some thorough usage info.
Greetings,
Pavel

Subject: [docbook-apps] search
engine with docbook
Hi,
I realize an online help (html) with docbook and I would like to integrate a
search engine.
Are there solutions to integrate a search engine with docbook?
Moreover I am a little amazed because having a search engine in an online help is
very common, nevertheless I don't find many solutions on the subject.
Thank you,
BG
