Hello all..
I will try to make this brief.
I currently have Joomla installed and have begun our project and encountered several road blocks..
Perhaps the Drupal Software can make life easier.
All we want is a simple directory of sorts.
I will list our needs and I hope somebody can point us in the right direction. Hopefully the Drupal direction.
We need a site that will contain a very large database of information accessed via search, a directory in a sense.
The project is very large so we will need to add publishers from various areas.
Let me provide an example to make this easier. This is an example only, not the actual project, our project is actually Education based..

Say I visit www.example.com because i want to know who wrote "The Firm" so i enter that term in the search and press go, i would like the results returned with
The Firm,
by John Grisham
Summary of book..
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Very simple, but difficult to do in Joomla without including sections of the site that i dont want included in the search. their content, sections, and categories are confusing and you have to have one published to get the other.
Can Drupal Help us? am i looking at the wrong type of software? We would like the ability to add functions as time goes on and thats why I am looking at these CMS programs..
