[Benny Alexander]

Hi,

We are developing a CMS in ASP and before we write the code for a complete
site search script and Forum, we want to check if is there any good ones?

Kindly please let us know.

Thanks in advance

Look for Index Services (included with Windows). And if you need to index
PDFs you need to install the iFilter from Adobe (look for iFilter at
www.adobe.com).
