Seeking search engine with filter

[sof_tek_com]

Does anyone know of a search engine that allows users to target the search to specific areas of webhelp? In addition to a search text field we need a drop down list that the user can use to narrow the search. As the help is rather large we'd like to give users this option. I've taken a look at some engines including Zoom, but am not sure if they have such a feature. Have emailed them but would appreciate any tips.
Thanks a lot in advance!

I believe ZoomSearch will do what you want so wait for David Wren to reply,

Failing a dropdown of any sort, you can always set up different configurations in ZoomSearch to target different areas, then create a topic with different buttons for the different searches or put them on your toolbar. Depends on the number.

See the ZoomSearch article on my site.

You'll create Zoom Categories that will appear in a "drop down list...to narrow the search." David & his people are top shelf!


Good luck,

Time for a Haiku...

so sad searching and searching
seldom finding all that you are seeking
Index always knows the way

Ah, there's that lonely voice from the midWest, crying in the Index wilderness!

Actually, Rick, I love your idea about giving users only an Index and calling it Search, but two things will always kill that dream:

* The Google-ization of the Web.

* You miss one stupid word where users expect it to be...and there goes your credibility.


Good luck,
Leon

Thanks to all of you who responded. I've got ZoomSearch working with categories. Just what the users would need. Wrensoft were very helpful. Now I'm off get my company to buy it!
