Hi All I am using Drupal 6.26.
Basically I am trying to develop a site where users can come and register their resumes . Recruiters can serach profiles with certain keywords and select the right profiles.
While users register profile, they might have entered skill set in a text field, that is stored in tables. Also users upload their resumes.
Now I am looking at how can do efficient searh both from tables , as well as from resume file content.
Search from skill set stored in tables -------------------------------------------------------------- Probably here, I can have integer IDs corresponding to skill sets, and skill sets can be stored in integer format (1 skill for 1 user in 1 row in a table), I can probably develop some PHP code to do database query to get the required profiles.
Search in resume file content --------------------------------------------------------------- The resume may be a .doc or .txt or .docx or .pdf file. How can I search the file contents, is there any module available to do that. Or I need to use PHP code to dig into files , read the content and search.
I read about apachesolr module, just want to take experts opinion before I proceed to use apachesolr for file search content. Also I read about sphinx.
Kindly guide me for both the case, searching skills sets from tables , and searching skill sets from file contents, what are best methods available today.
