Indexing a Local Newspaper Index on the Web

We have just begun a project to index our local newspaper.  Our 
plan is to create an database of the information and link it or 
publish it so that it is searchable on or from our web site.

I know that this is possible using MS Access and FrontPage (both 
of which we already have).  I have only just begun to read up on 
*how* to actually do it however.  <smile>  Before I get too far into 
the nuts & bolts I thought I'd check and see if anyone else has 
undertaken a similar project.

Is anyone maintaining a dynamically searchable database on their 
website?  What program(s) are you using to create/maintain the 
database?

Any comments or suggestions?  Thanks in advance!
