Freeway 5.5 introduced a simple search Action, you might start with that for a pure “search”. This will fit in to your plan of creating a static page for each video, too. But if you want to get more elaborate, like index by author, topic, actor, etc., it begins to look like a database project.
A database will give you search essentially for free, and you won’t have to create a unique page for each video. Rather, you will make a template for each type of page you need to show (index, search results, video, author, actor…) and then the database will fill everything in.
But using a database means learning a programming language like Ruby or PHP, and a whole universe of details you currently aren’t having to manage. Depending on your confidence level, this would be either an interesting project or something to run screaming from. If you have a budget, it might be cost-effective to hire a Freeway-friendly programmer/developer, so you could have control of the design while relegating the bit-lifting to someone with experience in that area.

I start this new thread because Ive realized that “finder” is not the word to say what I want. I meant a “search engine”.
In my website Godelia.tv I would like to implement an archive section with videos, and indexing them by metatags (title, actors, director….) Then, I need a search engine to search these videos. The thing is that I need the result displaying a list of videos according the search (if I write an actor’s name, and have 4 videos with this actor, I would like to have the four video in the list, and then, I can play the video I want).
I think that I need to create a html page for each video, with the metatags on it. But Im lost with the search engine.
Any one knows how to make it?
Thanks again.
