- I am not that familiar with all the different BBS's out there in
- cyberspace but the few I have seen are limited in one thing I am
- looking for. I would like to store text based documents and allow
- users to search through the system on keywords of their choosing.
- Something perhaps similiar to rn but with the ability to search each
- article for a string not just the header. The system would return the
- articles marked with the string highlighted. Something like a
- hypertext stack now that I think about it. Does such a system exist in
- BBS form? in PD or Shareware?
