Here's a reply that I posted on VBulletin.com:

Yup, I'll release it as a hack - just doing some testing. Unforunately, it's written in Perl, and I think most people here are PHP experts. I'm a bit reluctant to throw it out there, because I don't want 1000s of people emailing me questions about it (I already get about 200 emails a day, not including the junk).

We archive our HTML site on CD-ROM, so this would be a good start. The trouble is, that the images are still hyperlinks and would need to be resolved locally (something I didn't do yet).

Also, for my site, the file sizes are 1.4GB. However, this is for a BBS with 41000 threads, and 265,000 posts...

Anyone know of a search-engine that can parse HTML data, but be run as an executable on CD-ROM? That would be the killer in 'killer-app' for this...

I would love to get a search engine that could work on a CD-ROM. It would basically have to be a stand-alone .exe (probably for windows, since that's what most people use) and be able to read from an index on the CD and find files on the CD. Very possible, is there something out there like that? Not high enough on my list to write it...
