Recently I've found myself searching the freebsd ports web site quite frequently as well as some other online documentation (php, mysql, postgresql, freebsd faq/handbook) and it always bothers me because I know I can mirror that stuff and search it locally and in general cut down on their load.
It's been a long time since I've setup any search engines/spiders to do this sort of thing. In the past I've used htdig and mnogosearch.
I was hoping someone out there could tell me which one of those (or a third such as openfts?) I should install and get going to save me some time trying them all out.
I think the only feature I really care about is being able to limit the search to a particular collection (freebsd ports, php manual, etc.)
As an aside, I've got about 60mb (~ 5,000 messages) stored in pine's mbox format that I occasionally grep through, but would be nice if it was little more advanced...
I've also thought maybe I should just host it on an external server, and only allow my hosts and google's indexer to crawl it and just rely on google.
Suggestions? recommendations?
Thanks!
