Dear Willie-ga

We want our new web site to have a 'search this site' option on the
homepage.  What third-party solution do you suggest to provide
full-text searching?  Our site is about 100 pages, all of which is
essentially static.  Our current search engine is unreliable and
requires frequent re-indexing by us.  Are there solutions that need no
maintenance at our end? Functionality and ease of use are more
important than cost.

Request for Question Clarification by willie-ga on 06 Nov 2002 07:04 PST

Hello again

Thanks for asking about this one, but it's outside my sphere of
competency, and there are other researchers here that can do it better
justice than me. I'll leave it to them if that's OK by you?

Michael,

Are there any scripting languages that you can or can't run such as
CGI or PHP? Do you have a preference?

Clarification of Question by michael2-ga on 06 Nov 2002 07:53 PST

Thanks for letting me know.  I'll withdraw and re-post as an open question.

Here are a few sites that I recently came across:

http://www.atomz.com/search/
 - This search seems professional and "pretty".  I think that this is
most likely what you are looking for.

http://www.freefind.com/
 - The good thing about this is that it is free, but most likely not
as reliable or "pretty".
