David said that either of the topics I'd proposed would be fine, so I went with adding search functionality to Domino applications. I needed to do this for one Domino application earlier this year for a customer, so the techniques are still fresh in my memory. Also, I've been putting off adding searching functionality it to the
DNP website databases for over a year now, and figure I could use the
DNP Discussion db for the screenshots I come up with. I've never written an article in four days before, but there's nothing telling me that I can't. (Besides deciding to enjoy the weekend, that is!)
I spent about an hour coming up with a brief outline (or strawman) of what I intend to write. There will be five sections. I'll start out with the "simple method" of full-text indexing a database and adding a "Seach" shared action that executes @Command([ViewShowSearchBar]), and end with $$SeachTemplate forms. As always, once I get the introduction out of the way, it'll be easy to do the rest.
