are you searching files or a database? you can find scripts to perform either or these tasks at hotscripts.com or zend.com, both are excellent script resources.

I can recommend Perlfect [perlfect.com] search. I recently installed it, and am very happy. Easy to install (and I have relatively little *nix experience), easy to modify, completely customisable, pretty fast, and easy to control indexing.

rpking,
Perlfect is NICE!!!

It's easy to configure (well it does most of it by itself, just tell it what it needs to know)
And easy to use. Thanks

nicebloke, I tried fluffy and even though it looks like a good search app. It was a little harder to get working. At least on my server. But thanks for the help.

I'm using Fluid Dynamics SE for the board here. Works pretty good. Using the flat file version. 10k docs in it (14meg'ish).

[xav.com...]

These are both filesystem search programs right?

How about database searching? Mysql specifically... anyone got any recommendations?

alexjc, Perlfect allows you to use Databases. Not sure which but I'll check on it for you.

Xav's uses either SQL/MySql via perl's DBD module, or a FlatFile system. It's a walking talking spider - even has altavista standard syntax. I have a MySQL db with 300meg in it here on the home box running FDSE from Xav.

Perfect uses SDBM which comes with Perl. Very fast on small db's under 10meg.
