I thought I would pick the brains of all you tech guys that know more than I do on this subject.  I'm looking for some type of software (database) that I can enter a whole bunch of information into, and be able to search it by keyword. I guess I could always do it in HTML, and use Google search local on a local site, and it would be nice to publish it to the net so that I could access this info anywhere. Is there any good software for such a purpose that you would recommend? I already have a place to host it, but am not sure the best way to enter/publish it... Thanks ETA: The information will be a medical database about common conditions. I would like to have it indexed by title, but also searchable as in Keyword. (Kinda how HELP works in windows) I would also like to be able to put in on the web, or at least have it so i can be opened in a web browser, thus not needing any Executable program. |

A wiki, like MediaWiki, would probably fit what you're trying to do. It sounds like you are building a knowledgebase, but really only need text searches of the information. ETA: You can setup MediaWiki on a local server, or even on your desktop if you have the right stuff. You can control access to it as well, so it isn't available to everyone to view and edit. |
Thanks, that sounds exactly like what I need. I have played with Wikis along time ago but kinda forgot about them. |
