    Searchable CDs

    Anyone know of a specific script which I can incorporate onto a CD? I need to include a free-standing search utility which searches the CD content composed of html and pdf files and not rely on internet connectivity. It's got to work cross-platform as well, ie. Mac or Windows.

    Thanks in advance,

    I'm not sure if it is cross-platform but it is Windows

      Thanks, I looked this over and it's an executable format. I'd have to use a PC to install it. I'm looking for a file that's platform independent so I can install from a Mac. If anyone has any additional ideas, that would be great.

      Do appreciate the help. thanks.

        Try http://mediachance.com
        Check this out to see if some of the products are Mac friendly and report.

        They also have DVD-Labs?? look for it.
        Summary for MultiMedia Builder:
        Professionals use it as well

        Many large companies realized that using MMB is much easier and faster for building their autorun presentations and menus than their in-house solution.
        You may already have seen some of them in action:

        Corel Corporation uses autorun menu created in MMB on some of their recent products (for example WordPerfect Office 2002, etc.)
        3DFX uses MMB for their installation CD's for Voodoo graphic cards (also with some easter-eggs)
        BMG Entertainment uses whole presentations made in MMB on some of their PC enhanced audio CD's
        and more...

        With MMB you can create

        Autorun CD browsers (menus) for corporate CD-ROM's.
