    Do any of you guys use a search engine script and like it? If so which one?

    Cheers!

    I know a pretty good one.

    Is it for off site or on-site searches?

    This does either...

    It's not too easy to skin (Trust me on that one ;)), but the results are pretty easy to tweak...

    On-Page factors only (Of course) are taken into account.

    Yeah, it's pretty good...

    Like I say, it would be nice to be able to take links into account too, but then it would get pretty complicated pretty quickly.

    The only other issue I have with it is the fact that you have to manually crawl the site in order to add new pages to the script.

    It's great with a static site, but not too great with something dynamic...

    The way you can tweak weighting factors is pretty cool though.

    I think I still have it installed somwhere - you're more than welcome to play with it. :)

    XAV is great, I fully reccomend it, just.. keep your pages under 20k! You may wish to check hotscripts.com for more PHP\SQL along with other scripts.

    Just set it to be only your site. Although I wasn't really talking about that one, rather the actual script you download. It's better.
