Re: Re: [PHP3] Search engine for PHP3 enabled sites?

Hello Nout, I have a PHP search engine at http://www.hansanderson.com/php/. I'm not sure that many PHPers find it useful, but I use it on dozens of sites from small to medium with excellent results. You can read more about it on my site, but here's a short list of benefits: * No database required, index system is optimized flat-file * You can index from any source that PHP can read: databases, html, other text, PDF, whatever. * Search engine math syntax (like +must -not) * Searches are fast on my relatively lightweight servers, usually taking only a second for returning 10% of a 100,000 record index (not 100,000 bytes, 100,000 records) * No third party software needed, it's entirely PHP It's also free, but since I've had little feedback, I don't think the setup is much fun. I'm more than happy to answer questions, though.
