>Subject: Query: simple search engines for web pages
>I apologize if this has come up before, but I'm looking for a simple search
>engine that will enable people to look for info on our web pages.
>
>We have 60 or 70 library pages up so far, and are feeling the need of a search
>engine to supplement hierarchical menus. Ideally, the engine would optionally
>let people focus on specific groups of pages, and let them search either full
>text or an index of links.
>
>As you've all guessed by now, my knowledge of the subject is pretty limited.
>All suggestions will be gratefully received.
>
>For anyone interested, our pages are at www.rrcc.mb.ca/~library. Our main
>objective at the moment is to provide course-related information to our own
>students. Most of our pages are generated by macros from fairly simple word
>processing files, to enable people with minimal training to create and update
>them quickly.

>Thanks!
