We would like to set up a search engine on our Web site that would only search
the pages that reside on our server.  We have looked at other sites that use
AltaVista, Harvest, or Excite software to accomplish this task.  Any practical
advice on how to set up the local search engine, how to limit the search to our
site, and how to request permission to use the software would be appreciated.
Also, any preferences on which search engine is preferred?
Thanks in advance and I will post a summary of responses to the list.
