My institution is looking for ways to provide search across PDFs through
our website. Specifically, PDFs linked from finding aids. Ideally searching
within a collection's PDFs or possibly across all PDFs linked from all
finding aids.
We do not have a CMS or a digital repository. A digital
on the sitemap. The only part I
don't have is removing deleted, adding new, and updating changed
webpages/files. I'm not sure how to rework the script to use a list of new
files rather than the sitemap, but everything is on the same server so that
should work.

No, Stuart, you are not right. That is not what I said, nor was it implied.
I was simply asking how such a browser feature might affect Google

There are a plethora of options for wiki software. Does anyone have any
recommendations for a platform that's easy-to-use and has a low-learning

with.
