Web interface to view 8,000 PDF files? Only need to search by filename.

[SW Monkey]

Is there a web interface that I could setup to view out 8,000 PDF
files? I dont need to search for anything internally in the PDF, just
by the filename.

Something would be nice like this, say i have a file called 11234.pdf,
when I start typing 112, it automatically filters to all files with 112

in the beginning of the filename.


Anyone know of something like this off-hand?

Sounds like a perfect job for AJAX and a small amount of server-side
scripting. It's about the right level of complexity for a learning
exercise.

You can't do it purely in Flash, you're still going to need the
server-side code that returns partial directory sets.

Next question is what you're hosting it on, and what scripting language
your web server offers. PHP, most likely.

I agree. AJAX would do this very well, and you could easily fall-back
to simple form/submit for browsers that don't agree with your AJAX code.
