Hi - no not a site scraper.

An example could be a website which collected information about classic cars in the UK. Ideally the data could be entered by visitors entering information about their cars. Alternatively, if they also wanted to include photos of their car then they could send the data and images via email and the site owner would update it.

As well as entering information about their car, visitors should also be able to search the data stored. So someone might say they want to filter the whole database by MG cars, older than 1975, and located in Cornwall. The level of filtering should be flexible so although 3 different criteria may be enough in many cases, it could be that the visitor would also want to search at a more granular level, e.g. only green cars and only those with 2 doors (these are not real examples but seek to highlight the possible need for multiple filters.

The only other thing to say is that this probably wouldn't be an eCommerce site, more about information sharing.

So would a customised CMS be the best application for this (if so any recommendations) or is there software more suited?

Thanks again,
Peter
