Here at NCSU we use a combination of freeWAIS-sf and SFGate:

  http://ls6-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de/freeWAIS-sf/
  
First we input all of our data into our simple database program. The program
creates HTML files *as well as a document easily indexed by WAIS*. We then
index our data with the freeWAIS program using the -t first_line option and
make it available through SFGate. You can try it at:

Look at the bottom of the page.
