I cangrep pages for keywords and figure out what pages could might match, but I need to "see the page as the current user" so I know if they have permisisons. I thought, if I used www::mech or similar while "logged in as" the particular user doing the search, I will know if they can see the page or not... and if so, return it as a search result. </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><SPAN class="082251114-05042006"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><SPAN class="082251114-05042006">Feasible? </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><SPAN class="082251114-05042006"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><SPAN class="082251114-05042006"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><SPAN class="082251114-05042006">Thanks</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"><SPAN class="082251114-05042006"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <BR><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial"><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><></FONT></P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">The information in this email and any attachments may contain</FONT></P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">confidential information that is intended solely for the</FONT></P><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial">attention and use of the named addressee(s).
