Full Text Search in MS Access

D

David Taylor

I am developing a small document management application in Access 2003 - SQL
Server is not an option. The application will store, catalog and retrieve
(search) documents (.doc, .xls and .pdf).

My problem is with searching for text in these documents. I would prefer to
index entire documents so that when users enter some search text, the app
can search those indexes rather than doing a "Like *text*" operation in SQL.
Similar, I think, to the way "Full Text Search" works in SQL Server.

So how do I go about indexing entire Word, Excel and Adobe PDF documents in
VBA?

Grateful for any suggestions.
