best way to implement searching

[Stefan Burkard <ne...@burknet.ch>]

hello slide-users

i'm using slide as a document-repository - 'til now i implemented a 
small java-app to import and manage documents in the repository. i've 
done this with the webdav-client-api of slide and this works fine.

second part is to provide a search-engine on a website (runs on the same 
box).

1. visitors enter a search term in a html-form
2. get a list of all matching documents in the repository (the search 
term has to match in one of about three fields of metadata)
3. a click on a document-link downloads the file out of the repository

what's the best way to do something like this? should i use a 
http-client and searchmethod? or is it easier to use the slide-api 
serverside? i even see there is something named "projector" that 
provides web-access to the repository?

thanks and greetings
stefan

http-client and searchmethod it is the easiest way,  you only need to create
an XML query (DASL www.webdav.org/dasl) and send it to Slide. But I had many
problems when trying to search for Date or Integer metadata values.
