I have project in that I would like a user to be able to perform a "Google-like" search and then be able to click the link to where their search term is found. Does anyone know if this achievable and if so can you point me in the right direction?

Where are the pdfs stored and how will the search terms work? Are you looking to populate meta tags for each article/hyperlink?

Thanks for the fast response! The PDFs would be stored on a network. Meta tags aren't necessary because the tool would only be for internal use and wouldn't involve online functionality.
