Need a simple search tool for a site

[kevinj]

I have a site that will be running ASP and I'm in need of a simple search function (free if possible) to search the html text on the site. I've used ColdFusion before on another site to do a very simple sitewide search. Does anyone have any suggestions for a search tool that would help me provide search results that include the page title, link to the page, and the first few sentences of text on the page?

Thanks,
Kevin

I've used Atomz too and I am very satisfied.

atomz is great, but it's free only for the first 500 pages. anybody know a free tool for a site with more than 500 pages?

Why not just build one yourself? Your pages are in ASP, write a quick script to insert their HTML contents in a database and search against it.

I'm with digitalv on building your own solution... Are you running on IIS? If so I've done this very same thing by using Index Server to build a catalog and fired my search query right at that index using ado. Index Server is on the IIS box already.

Google this for several related do it yourself articles on this topic.

Google WebSearch.

With Google WebSearsh your visitors can search both your site and the web, while you can profit from the clicks on the ads that appear on the search results pages.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I am running IIS on the web server so I'll look into building my own and see if that's feasible. Atomz looks like a good possibility for my smaller e-commerce sites.
