tools for creating subject specific search engine

[glen.davies at cce.ac.nz]

Hi

I would be interested in hearing what tools people are using to 
create subject specific search engines.
I am using Thunderstones free webinator at the moment to run a 
very small search engine indexing about 15 sites. I would like to 
expand it but free webinator will only index a maximum of 10,000 
docs, so I am wanting to investigate the other options available, 
preferably in the free, gnu arena.

I have tried htdig, swish-e, alkaline, and will also have a look at 
Combine and Harvest when time permits. Any other options that 
people are using?

Thanks
Regards
Glen
