Search software

Posted by: Jennifer In: Bookmarks

You can tell what I'm working on by the types of posts I make here :)

In any case, I'm looking for software packages to add search functionality to a relatively small site. However, they'd rather not have "some one else's logo or advertising", and they'd rather host it internally if possible. As well, we're not running php, so while my previous php search post was more for future reference for myself – that solution won't work for this particular issue.

Here's a few links to search software products I'm looking at (I'll add as I go along) They seem to have "free" versions and can be used with php, asp, or anything you want:
Zoom Search Engine – Wrensoft (update: after trying all three of these Wrensoft is my favorite! This is the one I'll probably get)
aleadsoft Search Engine Builder
Web Wiz Guide – Advanced Site Search

I highly recommend Interactive tools search.

I'm a huge proponent of open-source scripts, so it took a damn easy/nice script to get me to shell out a very affordable $50. The 2 minute setup alone is worth it.
