TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
This summer my organization is going online-only with all our documentation.
Our documentation consists of PDF versions of our hard copy manuals and
HTML documents for two new manuals. Our users will be accessing the
documents through a corporate intranet.
Our current search engine for the documents, which was written in Visual
Basic (which we no longer have access to) is cumbersome to update and is not
working properly.
My question for the group is what search engines or strategies have people
employed for these type of documents? Any and all help appreciated!
