    xslt search in an sql query result

    is it possible to use "xslt search" for searching in an sql query resultset?

    For example in a Database-Telephonelist

    It's probably doable if you'd convert the sql query resultset to a XPathNodeIterator (for use in xslt) and tweak xslt search a bit to work with this resultset.

    Altho, I'd also look into full-text search capabilities of sql server and query data directly from db and present the results using some user control.

     

    Just my 2 cents.

     

    Cheers,

    XSLTsearch is geared for searching umbraco content nodes. You can certainly modify it for other uses (make an xslt extension to query the database and then integrate that into XSLTsearch's code) but in the scenario you describe I'd recommend you look at other tools, probably a Lucene-based search solution. There are a couple of them in the 'projects' area.
