Site Search Tool

[Steffen Schilke]

Hallo,

I did a similar thing but as we developed our own site we used plain Lucene
for the crawling and search buy building scheduled task for indexing and a
search interface. If you have an own page editor it makes sense to crawl a
page when you publish it (not save the act of setting it free into the wild
;-) If you delete pages you should remove them from the index in the delete
function. Once in a while some maintance is necessary and a rebuild of the
index is called for.

Kind regards
