Website Search Script

[Mighty]

Haven't used Perl in a long time but I need to get my hands on a simple but effective website search script. I need to be able to check the content of html pages in a number of directories to make a search string.

Can anyone recommend a good free script for what I am looking for. I have found a few different ones on the web but am not sure which ones are best.

Thanks in advance.

perlfect from

http://www.perlfect.com

has worked really well for me in the past.

it is a batch process, which means that you'll get accurate results as of the last index run, but it isn't totally real time.

You could phreak the index thang if you apply new additions at time of entry

IMHO
well worth a look

Use a system call to use grep! (Live Time!)


Works wonders if your on a Linux/Unix system!

Hope this helps!

I use ksearch.

Works good for me.

grep is a useful tool, but consider a webserver with a 3 GB footprint, it's not going to be real useful in that situation, unless you give them a rider to make a pot of tea, by first flying to [india|cyprus|anywhere else that grows tea] to pick the leaves, apply for planning permission to build a factory to make tea bags, wait for that to come through, and then contract a busy builder who'll have it up in 3 months, if he can start in two weeks time, wait for a gap in the PG chimps filming schedule ... see a pattern here.


v.v. ksearch, it's actually built on perlfect search
