Version 5 of the Web Publisher is fully compatible with askSam 5 and comes with these new features:

* SORTED SEARCH RESULTS -- Sort your search results (by relevance, date, or any other field in your information).

* SUPPORT FOR ATTACHMENTS -- lets you attach original files to documents. The new Web Publisher displays these attachments in a browser and users can open or save these files by clicking on the links. This is a great way to create searchable on-line databases of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, photographs, CAD drawings, etc.
