Hi Graeme, I agree. Your 'partition pruning' method solves my primary issue, e.g. identifying which pdf file(s) might be relevant in a documentation search. My current approach is: Use Oracle Text to search a pdf set. Once I have the list of matching files, I can select one (up to twenty) to open, and re-search on the top priority opened file in acrobat (v6.0.x up). The hyper-linked result list simulates tahiti search without being on-line (internet) and without html. I'm pretty sure I know how to simply automate the above steps without webification and on windoze/xnix. I will post the results later, if/when successful. Thanks again.
