    Sorry, looking for a site search. Has anyone used Sphider (http://www.cs.ioc.ee/~ando/sphider/)? It looks good to me.

    Shawn, I'm not a big fan of the google API solution as I don't want the results to look like they come from google. Can your search integrate the results better then most?

    Hey all,

    Just thought you could make use of a small application that I have called GrowSearch..

    GrowSearch was created with accessibility and ease of use firmly in mind. It indexes and produces site search or map results on the fly, allowing site owners to create new content with the knowledge that visitors will be able to search and find new information immediately.

    The search form is compliant with the Web Content Accessiility Guidelines (WCAG) for disabled users which also means it's simple to use for everyone. GrowSearch is also platform and browser independant: No client-side scripting is used at all for the search, everything is achieved using PHP, making it exceptionally portable.

    The search results are outputted in a simple XHTML 1.0 Strict list by keyword density and displayed by directory and page title. Any unique HTML tag that appears on the page can be used as the display text in the results allowing designers and developers to choose the description for the pages returned. Favourites might include the page title or h1 tags. Configuration options also include the ability to hide directories, files types and individual files from the results. The search form and results page can be easily styled using CSS.

    For further information please visit http://www.gr0w.com/amos/growsearch/

    I hope this helps.

    Paul
