indexing and searching documents on your web server

[Tarak Parekh <tp...@novell.com>]

Hello All, 

I am thinking that this might not be the right place for this question, so forgive me for the naiveness.

I am trying to look into tools/modules which could help me index/search the documents on my website and provide just a search box for the documents. I have tried webglimpse, but had a couple of problems with it. Could someone give me some pointers for that ?

thanks, 
tarak

one of these is DBIx::FullTextSearch - it does require a MySQL database
though.  it offers must include, can include, cannot include words,
phrases, stop words and stemming.

for more information, check out

If you want something controllable via mod_perl then there are a couple of
things in the CPAN, under the DBIx hierarchy. If you're not bothered about
direct control, then you should check out htDig.
