CNSearch search system works under Windows and Unix servers. If your server uses third party hosting, all you need for installation is access to '/cgi-bin'. The system is composed of two parts - an indexer and a frontend. The indexer can analyse one or several web-sites according to the settings you make. You may select file types to be indexed, set index templates and rules, etc. There are plug-ins included in this distribution, which may be used for precise analysis of .doc, .rtf, and .txt files. The frontend performs a search in the created index file.

Special features of the system are possibility of installation of the indexer and frontend on different computers and tremendously fast search in the index file.
