>
> Hi,
>
> A co-worker has this dilemma:
> He has a directory with many documents. Each of these short documents
> describes one specific process. He is looking for a tool that can create an
> index of all these documents.
> The Find functionality of Windows Explorer will allow him to search for key
> words in the documents, but he wants more.
> Ideally, the tool will go into each document, pull out keywords and then
> create the index in a separate document.
>
> Is this the fantasy of a crazed developer's mind, or is something similar
> available? I told him I would ask, but he shouldn't get his hopes up.
