search engine
I was just thinking ....
With an XML list of your site's files to play with, it could be possible to make
an XSL that acts as a basic search engine for your site with Cocoon, using the
document() function; if the XSL could receive parameters from the request.
In XSP it would probably be even easier.
Hmmmm ....

I agree!
Very slow, and have to be built specially for each DTD.
But while another solution does not exist (?) it could be a temporary solution.

But I think it would be so slow... Being orthogonal to HTML, also, an
XML search engine should be able to work on different data, like, since
most of the DTDs are "site specific", working on the contexts where
keywords to search are found (If I look for a product called "FOOBAR" on
my site, the search engine might be "clever" enough to search the word
"foobar" in the <product> tag...)
