Hi, this is yet another one of my questions I ask you all giving your experteese. I am currently using the CGISPY search engine on my site ywith.com and I want a different search engine. Here are my specification:

FREE - A MUST!

Hosted or a very simple setup on my own site (since I have never been able to get anything CGI or database to work on that higherengineranking.com site even though my mate brought practically everything that was on offer.)

Looks like its part of my site (not some google search with a small banner at the top saying YWITH.)

A way to adjust the algorithms and search results to preference some sites over others - a preference, but not neccesary.

Has more than just my sites pages in it directory.

Facility for others to add their URL - not neccesary

Robot for searching sites - a preference but not neccesary.

General things like it can cope with many sites (thousands to millions), fast, sites can be deleted and stuff like that.

Go to www.youwantittryhere.com for games, chat, free e-mail and much much more

How about this one? I'm not sure of its capabilities, but it's worth a look and I have use that company's products in other occasions.
