Site Search

[souperman]

Can anyone suggest a good cgi site search script that can handle over 10000 pages without overloading the server?

I recommend Atomz.com, but that's a remote service, not something you host. Here are some more: http://www.hotscripts.com/Perl/Scripts_and_Programs/Searching/Site_Search

I've been using Perlfect (http://www.perlfect.com/freescripts/search/) since April 2001, and I'm happy with it.

It's based on an index, so it doesn't use that many resources when running.

I don't have 10,000 pages though, only around 1,500....

Oh, Perlfect is free.

is perlfect pretty easy to install? cause i'm not that great in configuring cgi

Yea, pretty easy. It also comes with a setup utility so.....

hmm.. I tried it and it installed and i got it indexed, but when I try to search for something it goes to an error 500, and I chomded it correctly too..
