I'm starting the process of creating a CDROM distribution and will be writing the systems in VB.

One of the functions of the CD should be free text searching on the 10,000 (or so) documents stored on it(html or text).

I'm pretty comfortable with our Website implementation of this as I´ll be using ColdFusion with Verity as the indexing software. Works a treat. Trust me.

Anyone have any fine ideas on products that´ll allow me to implement the same speedy search results / indexing on the CDROM using a VB program?

I've seen a few products on the market but at prices of $6000+ (with extra licensing costs too! Marvellous...)

As this CD is likely to be for fairly limited distribution it's simply not worth the cost. Any one seen any MUCH cheaper products that'll do the job?
