I really don't understand sandboxes, so I'm assuming no. Personally, I think the idea of a solution for this needs to be addressed as a more core feature addition of WebDNA. It is something that comes up and is something that is not easily performed within the current tool set. Anyway, I am more fluid with some ideas on a *nix machine.. but depending on how many files and how large of files, you could probably work up a recursive query in your site directory using listfiles. Then, at this point, you have the filename to where you could use other tools to do the search within that file. On a nix machine, I would do a [shell]grep ...[/shell] or something. Infact you could do that shell grep for the entire search and not use listfiles. ;-) I don't know if DOS has anything like a grep. If there is not a good DOS like grep/search thing on Windows, I guess you could [include] the [filename] in the new [findstring] tag to perform the search (then do some math to display the snippent of results (and link to the page) that contains a match). But I am going to make a guess that this solution would be a bit difficult to make work exactly how you would like. Whatever solution you would find, it would ultimately be best to store the page information in a database where dynamic user-driven searches would be fast and accurate and *almost* realtime. But yes, it would be nice to do: [searchsite find=[_keywords]]! ..may be a good function library project for someone! ;-) Donovan Donovan D.
