I would second that motion for HTdig, have tried all the others you've mentioned
as well and it is one of the best/nicest. The latest I'm trying  is
http://www.digitalgenesis.com/software/dgssearch.html and I'm liking it A LOT,
but not sure if it's more than http://www.htdig.org/.
The default set-up takes just a bit of style sheet tweaking to get results that look
and act like Google's. Got all the features you would expect and extremely easy
for anyone to get set up. You can try it at:
http://www.markgroen.com/dgssearch/index.php  I haven't set up which
directories to include/exclude, (everything in there at the moment), so you'll get a
lot of returns on the blog archives, but it will give you an idea. Oh yeah, it's PHP
of course.
