Site Search Function

[1redpi30]

Hi All,

I'm currently looking at adding a search function to my website, I'm looking at using Google Co-op to start, then maybe purchasing Google Mini.

The reason I want a search function is because my companies website has many different products spread across many different websites (don't ask, it’s not ideal).

Could anyone give some advice on how to best tackle this project/configuration of search results?

All the best,

Iain

Swish-e is an open source, free, program that can be added to a server and configured with a Perl script. The stored data is in a file, not a database. It's very fast.

Yahoo/IBM collaborated on a free search product (software based) that you might like. It is called OmniFind.

lucene [lucene.apache.org] is a java-based search engine developed by the apache project and might be suitable for your needs.
