IIRC the XML tfee exports contains a few keywords, and TFEE, YoYo, THI, and TII (among others) all include flinks XML, though I'm not sure if that has all the content you'd want to search against (it has name, description, and notes, but not full content). flinks itself has a search function against that data, and you can "subscribe" to index pages, having it reget the bookmarks daily. Toad and Ian have rightly said flinks or something of its ilk shouldn't be distro'ed with fred, and I completely agree. A freenet search engine is a really awesome idea and something like McNab's reuse of ht://dig sounds like a great way to deal with it, but there too I say thats an app, not core to fred. "freenet" would benefit from some search functionality, but it can be done at the application level, and shouldn't be part of the core fred distro. Maybe someone can crawl with ht://dig and publish the DB nightly/weekly/whatever, and package up a client side that polls for the latest DB and lets people search, with results pointing at fproxy?
