All, Question: After I click on the search link at the top of the forum page it sends me to search_form.asp. So here is my question. I don't want the search page to search the forum I want it to search a Word document I have. Do any of you know how I would do this. Thanks in adance, John007 |

Word documents are compiled, open one up in a text editor and all you see is a load of squiggles and junk. So it would not be possible to search these documents with ASP. If you have a look on http://www.aspin.com - www.aspin.com you might find a component thta will allow you to do this but you will probally have to pay quite a few hundred dollars for it and also have access to the web server to install it. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

boRg, I just converted the Word document to a .asp page. So you know how I could have the search link search this new page I created? Again thanks for all your help, John007 |

Since the forum search only searches in the database, you'll need to find a search script that searches individual files (theres one on this site), set it up so it searches only that asp file, then change the link in the includes/navigation_buttons_inc.asp to point to the new search script.

It still wouldn't work, you would need to convert the wrod document to a plain text file. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Note that my solution assumes, like Bruce said, that you converted it to a plain text file via File --> Save As. For the Site Search Engine, click on the 'ASP' button in the navigation bar, it is third in the list of scripts.
