Hi
I have been trying to get a perlfect search script to work and failed miserably.
I have an asp search script on the site that was easy to install but does not index so is now very slow.

Does anyone know of an indexable asp script that is easy to install and works well. (I am on windows hosting)

A free script would be great but happy to pay if I know it works well and that I can get it to work

Any help or tips, or indeed general comments on site search greatly appreciated

Hi Abbey
thanks for that, much appreciated. I have looked at their professional search, did you find it easy to install on your site?

Have you noticed any downsides
Thanks for replying

I have the pro version. It is extremely easy to set up, though it takes a bit of time to then configure it to do what you need. I like that I can easily weight pages and can exclude parts of pages from the index.

Haven't really noticed a downside. I am using the PHP version.

Another popular option is fluid dynamics search engine. I have had instances of it running upwards of 25 thousand pages in index.
