    Offline search engine

    I have a collection of pages saved that I have found online that contain good examples of VB source code, among other things. It would be nice to have an offline search page to query my pages and return some results.
    1)Is this possible?
    2)What language is best?
    3)Can I do it myself?
    4)Can I simply copy some code to do it?

    While I'm here I want to ask html related question. How is VBCode displayed on a page, preserving format and color coded entries? Is it possible to create a style sheet to do this?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    1) Yes but you need to have Perl, ASP or...
    2) PHP Installed on your computer, unless you're making it an actual exe program.

    You can't simply whip up a style sheet to have it format vb code. On my site, I used a pretty complicated PHP script to do it after it's pulled from a database.

    Best of luck.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.
