Hi Yesterday, I was asked to research implementation of a search function for one of my customers' sites. Yes, Google and Yahoo both allow a local "site" search but both "brand" the results. This article got me to thinking http://www.searchenginejournal.com/php-search-engines-roundup/4579/ Can any of you recommend a package for which you have had a positive experience, with an example of its use?
Zoom Search is a pretty decent package - http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/ I used it years ago on www.leadershipstarkcounty.org (it's an old site now and they maintain it themselves, so it's a bit of a mess from an engineering perspective, but the search function itself works well ) I've heard good things about Sphider - http://cs.ioc.ee/~ando/sphider/ - though I've not used used it myself.
