Re: Re: Searching MS Word Docs

You know, I think it may be better to do the word document over HTML document. HTML docs will have all the tags. A search may accidentally go against the HTML tag as opposed to a word in the actual resume. If you can get the .docs working as I'd suggested, then you should be on a roll and everyone will be happy. I am unfamiliar with linux (i think that's what you said you are working on), so not sure if this would apply the same as would on windows.
