PermaLinkAwesome Google-like multi-db Notes search
posted Wednesday 19th, July 2006
 



Here in the USA, we have Julian Robichaux often supplying the Domino community with wonderful code. On the west coast of France, Julien Bottemanne has been busy writing impressive code as well. Although Julien Bottemanne's domlike.net site is written primarily in French, he has posted about his Domgle tool in both French and English. Domgle includes a configuration document to control various options including the databases to be searched. When one submits the search string, the various databases are searched, returning result sets as XML documents, which are then parsed and displayed to the browser. Julien kindly offers the application for free to the Domino community. Do swing by Julien's domlike.net blog and have a look around. If you don't speak French, you can always translate the site with Google.

Thank you Julien B!

Thanks Joe,

I'm not but I would like to be as brilliant as Julian...
I think Domgle is much more a good idea than a coding performance.
For us (domino developers) Ajax open doors of news functionalities. A lots of things are still waiting to be explored.

Very cool. I recently wrote something very similar that builds a single web view from multiple NSFs. It also uses AJAX to pull the XML and the browser does the parsing and DOM manipulation. I used the prototype framework...
