A Text-Based Search Engine

Have you wanted to allow your users to search through your website, checking for files that contain a particular string? Using the FileSystemObject, you can search through all of the files in a particular directory that contain a particular string. To allow for this functionality, you will need two ASP pages: one that presents the user a form to enter the string they wish to search for; the second needs to take this string, iterate through all of the files in a particular folder, and determine which of these files contain the string. This tutorial shows you how.
