&gt; &gt;Has anyone put all the documentation into a searchable/displayable

&gt; &gt;populating the database (finding/maintaining the correct information)...

&gt; So far most people use grep for the LDP docs. On a modern PC, this is very
&gt; usable. For man pages &quot;man -k string&quot; or &quot;apropos string&quot; will do the trick.
&gt;
&gt; There have been discussion on this list about tools to use build a database
&gt; style solution using the SGML source but the solution does not exist yet and
&gt; grep has been Good Enough.
I've beeen on the mailing list for the &quot;Dewey&quot; project, and I'm
wondering who else on this list is. It appears that some wet cycles are
being applied to the problem there.
