Microsoft Front Page of every version produces a searchable index,
finding words isn't a problem.
Finding two or three word Phrases is a problem.
Boolean searches are difficult.
There needs to be a FAQ index specifically created by reference to
chapter and subject.
Without the FAQ index its just degenerates to a very difficult search
process like the archives that returns the location of the word many
times which aren't *specifically relevant* to what you're looking for.
I've already volunteered to create this page whenever someone sends me
the Bentley index and table of contents. Keep in mind guys this isn't one
page, its a page for every reference that is linked to the one first
page. It could very well be 800 individual pages behind the FAQ index
page.
Although I seldom admit it, I've been doing web pages for six years and
this FAQ and the supporting pages is no walk in the park. Dirt simple....
YES, time consuming ...... YES, worth the effort? ...... will be with
everybodys cooperation.
