Hi,

I run a community website Cuffe Parade Online at http://www.cuffeparade.com
I am looking for a nice and simple search utility which would find the "words"
and "phrases" from html and shtml files.

Please suggest me some simple to install program since I am not an expert with
CGI/Perl and such things.

Awaiting a Quick reply,

Thanks & BYE !

Try:
http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Searching/Searching_Your_Web_Site/

You'll find a large selection of pre-written, easy to use Perl scripts for searching your site.

If you do not want the hassle of setting up a CGI Script to search your site, you may be interested in a service at http://www.picosearch.com/

I personally have not used it, but it looks cool.

I wrote a keyword parser for search engines to use. It allows AltaVista style searching in this manner:

+phrase (or) +"phrase here" means the phrase must be matched

-phrase (or) -"phrase here" means the phrase must not be matched

phrase (or) "phrase here" means the phrase is optional

It also allows for "*" and "?", which mean "any characters" and "any character".

Right now, it's an entire program that searches its own documentation, but it can be modified. It's available at http://www.crusoe.net/~jeffp/programs/keyword-parser
