The title of this thread was originally had the word "poor" in it, so this
message may not answer that question ; however, it may be interesting for
large projects.
A very good search engine (used by MSN, AOL, Hewlett-Packard, and many
others) for extremely large intranets and internets is called "Inktomi
Search" (formerly "UltraSeek").
http://www.inktomi.com/products/search/
It has the advantage of a very comprehensive Java API, for searching,
spidering/indexing, and administration. For info about the API, look at:
http://www.inktomi.com/products/search/products/ultraseek/xpasearch.htm
It is however a big business solution, and may prove too expensive for small
projects.
