I'm designing a Job Recruitment Website, in which the admin person
searches for the right candidate for the job using certain keywords .
The only kind of candidate info is the ms word cv of each candidate. So
how can i search for keywords in each of the word documents. Is there
any way like that or Is that a impossible scenario in .net?
Or else should i force the candidate to create CV and store in the
database so that i can use that info for search
Which is the best approach?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Savvy,

quite possible, you can use the Word object model from inside dotNET, I
believe you'll find some search function in it. For a starter, take a
look at:

Or even better, use VSTO 2005 (Visual Studio Tools for Office). I
haven't looked for a search function in it yet, but maybe your in luck
(I think you will :)
Grtz, Wouter
