Bill, how about googling like this: site:amcs-pubs.org Sótano de las Golondrinas
You can even put a search bar on your site to do this, see http://texascavers.com/ for an example. You can have it automattically select the site checkbox for searching the site instead of the web. As long as google will index the RTF files, it will work, that will have to be researched. If either of you have questions about this, let me know.
