MySQL has decent (not stellar, not terrible) FULLTEXT indexing capabilities. It's not going to give you web indexing, just database indexing, but that might be sufficient if the content to search is simple and stored the right way. If you wanted to go really low tech, you could use wget to spider the site and load the pages into a MySQL database to do FULLTEXT searches against.
Note that I don't consider this anything even approaching a good solution, but it IS a potential solution since it appears that many/most of the good ones have been ruled out. cheers, barneyb On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 2:05 PM, Dave Burns <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have a customer who would like a search function for his web-site but does > not want to use Google's custom search service.
