Introduction

dtSearch Web is a search engine that you can install on a Web server to publish documents on your web site. It can perform fast indexed searches using the same search features that dtSearch Desktop supports -- fuzzy searching, phonic searching, boolean logic, proximity, etc. Indexed documents can be in any format that dtSearch supports, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, RTF, and ZIP archives.

After a search, dtSearch Web will convert documents as needed to HTML for display, with hits highlighted. If a retrieved document is already in HTML, dtSearch Web will display it with hits highlighted while preserving the HTML attributes (so links and images will work in your browser).

Highlighting hits in PDF files is done using an Adobe Reader plug-in, which is available for download from this page: https://download.dtsearch.com/pdfhl/

dtSearch Web requires Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) version 6 or later.

With a CD publisher license, you can also use dtSearch Web to publish documents on a CD.
