Hi,
I was wondering whether anyone on the list had some strong opinions on decent site search (e.g. Search this site) tools. The way I see it, there's two options, a hosted search provider (such as Google or Quintura), or a search tool that sits on your web host alongside your website and indexes things for you. The problem with a hosted search provider is that you have less control over how often your site is indexed (Google XML sitemaps and their equivalents go some way to mitigating this). I've through the Google documentation and they don't give you many guarantees about how often your site would be indexed. "Within 5 minutes of new content appearing on the site" doesn't appear to be an option. If you're going to create your own search tool, you'd use something like Swish-E or Lucene, but what if your client's site is on a shared hosting environment, and that's unlikely to change? I've see there's a few PHP-based spidering tools but has anyone seen any that they'd recommend? Cheers, Matt. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
