I have a physical folder which contains 'n' number of documents (*.docs),
excel sheets (*.xls), few PDF files (*.pdf). These files contains images
within these files. Now from my website (ASP.NET 1.1, C#) I want to search
through these files.
That said, I was able to think of the below two options for solving this:
1. Microsoft Index Server :: Create a catalog and map the physical folder
here. Then make use of FreeText queries to fetch it. [Though I know this by
principle I am not able to make it work ... may be the steps which I am doing
is not right!].
2. Design a table and store the file contents within it. Then search through
the needed columns. The problem I see here is, "Images". Almost all the files
have lots of images within it. So I am not sure how to save the document text
into the DB and then retrieve it for searching, displaying it to the end user.
Hope I have made my problem statement clear. If so, can somebody help me
with this?
