I need to add a search engine to a commercial site.
Any free ones out there? PHP preferably please.

This is going to be the next addition to my site when I get the time to sit down and do it all.
It shouldn't be too hard though, every item on my site is stored in a database and has a unique ID number. I can just use the search function to bring up results that match what was entered, which is what a search does anyway, so I don't know why I wrote that...

Hmmm, that's what I want. I'm looking at PHPDig at the moment, but if that one falls through, I'll be sure to give FDSE a look. Cheers.

Cheers for the quick reply. I didn't make myself too clear though. What I'm after is one that'll scan .html files for keywords from a starting point. Zoom is looking ok, but I can't get the damn thing working!
Damn, haven't got my memory stick on me...
Made a few site 'search things' now, but mine always depend on how the data is stored (in my cases .data files, but SQL has it's own method I think). Usually I return the maximum record, then run downwards using a preg search to match bits of strings, then true if matches, false if doesn't. Works quite well, especially if you've got a product database with unique records. It's targetted though, so not sure about general site searches.
