   FindinSite-CD (formerly Spy-CD and Hi Spy) is a top-notch way to add excellent search
capabilities to your Website or CD. It just doesn't get any easier to add a
full-featured search engine to your site. Using a Java applet and a
pre-built database, FindinSite-CD quickly returns information on a search. It does
standard searches, wildcards, adjacent words, logical (AND OR NOT),
synonyms, and word stemming. It's very easy to set up -- just point it to
the directory containing your HTML, PDF, or text files, answer a few
questions, and the database is created and the appropriate files moved to
the directory. Users will appreciate how easy the search applet is to work
with. Matches are displayed with clickable links, and found words are
highlighted in a separate browser window. Additionally, FindinSite-CD supports
English and nine other major languages.
