Only a small part of the site is ASP/DB driven, just a couple of pages, and the search 
for that part has already been developed. but
there are over 4000 static HTML pages. ideally, i would make a crawler, but my limited 
knowledge of Regexp and limited time leaves
me little possibilities. the only alternative would be to buy a commercial 
crawler/search engine, but even then, i'm limited by the
fact that i can't install any component/software on the server.

Thanks
Tim

Well, I'll ask one question that will possibly help. What you mean by search
engine? Why asking - see this:

Scenario 1: You have HTML and ASP pages, some ASP pages generate many views
depending on the parameters. You want to index everything. How? Index server
will not help unless your ASP pages are not too much and too stupid. No one
knows which parameters should be treated as causing views from the
mainstream of the site (that should be indexed) and which parameters cause
results from form submission for example.

Scenario2: All the site is ASP - you are generating it from a DB. You will
be glad to have a search capability over certain information. And you will
want the displayed results to point certain page types - for example product
page. E.g. the search resolves to set of well defined resource types.

And so on....

There is no universal search engine solution except something like Google
(which is almost but not absolutely universal). So if you want universal
solution you will need to spider your own site. If not - then the DB should
be enough. Let me stop here.

my hosting server has an indexing software for linux, but has not setup
indexServer on the WIN2K server that we are using(don't ask
why). so it realy has to be pur database/scripting solution.

Have you looked into using IndexServer (which comes with IIS)?  It is
scriptable via ASP and works very well.

Hi,
i need to setup a search engine on are website,
and i've been looking into some free scripts
but none seem to have any indexing functionalities (you have to enter
keywords yourself) if any of you have come across a good indexing/search
script i would love to hear from you.

Thanks very much
Tim
