Tripoli is Microsoft's content indexing and searching solution for
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). Tripoli is an add-on module
for IIS. It indexes the full text and properties of multiple document
formats, including HTML, text, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and
Microsoft PowerPoint. It allows the administrator (or any user familiar
with web documents) to create simple query forms using standard HTML.
The web server forwards the query form to the query engine, which finds
the pertinent documents and returns the results to the client formatted
as a web page. Tripoli can be used to provide indexing services for both
corporate intranets, and for sites on the Internet.
