I think swish-e is superb! www.swish-e.org. It includes a spider which builds the index (using either file systme or http methods) as well as a query tool. One of the slickest things is that you can define custom metatags (in the HTML file) to be indexed. It allows very flexible context sensitive searching, but keeps the management overhead very light.
It's open source -- Windows .exe available. I've compiled it for OS X and linux. Great mailing list. You'll need Perl. >Hi, >Is there a way I can build a search engine that queries a database for a >keyword, and then arranges the results in order of relevance.
