How to build a Search Engine
----------------------------

This program started out as a simple text search.

The flowchart, to do the line wrap and match hi-lights
took 3 days. It worked like a charm. (see the links
to these charts below)

Step 1 complete. Search and display text results.

Next was the ability to search text and call up pictures.
When a match was found on a line and the following line had
the path to a picture, then that picture was displayed.

We scanned in and cataloged 5000+ family pictures and
used that as a test base.

Changes were made to view these pictures as a screen saver.
Then with a random option, because sequential became boring fast.

Then came VIDEO and Music. Being able to start and stop
anywhere in a video clip, slow motion and freeze frame
are the main features. I've had a mini dvd camcorder for
4 years now. Desktop Search makes computers and video fun.

The very early version (1999) of the search has way less
functionality but is valuable as a stripped down search.%0
