Thumbnails suggestion??

[abhi]

I am trying to have different thumbnails for the files found in the search instead of a common image. Would like to know the best way to do it... any recommendations ??

See this FAQ for details.
Q. How do I associate images with my search results?

Using the ZOOMIMAGE tag is one easy way.

webpage snapshot as thumbnail

I was actually trying to see if there is any way that I can get a snapshot of the webpage (aspx/pdf/..) as a thumbnail and associate it with the search results.

Any s/w that does the snap shot of the webpages. or am I dreaming too much ??

either that or I was trying to do something like the google search does ( having a magnifing glass icon ) next to the search result entry and on hovering the mouse over it it briefly displays the webpage .. is there anything close to that we can achieve using zoom ??

Thanks!

It isn't much trouble to make your own. See,

And a search on Google will turn up several tools that claim to further automate the process of making thumbs of your pages. We haven't tested any of them however.
