Jeremy,
There are several solutions to this. Each are not too difficult.
1) use the Linux filesystem as a kind of database. Sort all the docs by
their topic, and put them in a directory. If you want to associate a given
document with others, could you symlink them, or some such. This can be
labourious over time.
2) Use a database with cgi/php front end to retrieve documents. Each
document could reside on the filesystem, with the database listing its
location, and the relevant topics.
3) Put all documents in the database and have them served to the web via
cgi/php.
4) use a document management system, like RCS, to serve them. These can be
very expensive, and have features which you would not be interested in.
5) Use a code management system (like CVS) to serve them.
I would recommend you store the files in text format. The option I would
go with is number 2. That option allows text searching to be very simple
(grep can do it). Text searching a database is not a good idea.
