Hi Everyone,
I¹m investigating options for a site search engine for one of our clients
(very large site heavy heavy traffic) - I¹m sure you could figure out
which
if you did a bit of investigation ;-)
Okay you twisted my arm .. It¹s for michaelmoore.com
(http://www.michaelmoore.com) ..
----
I¹ve been evaluating phpDIG which seems good but a bit flakey on
occasion.
The site I¹m going to be using this on is LOAD balanced and mirrored around
the world.
Does anyone have any solutions they stand by ? Anything to stay away from ?
We require it to be easy to use, automate-able updates to the indexes, not
rely on any specific
³customized² apache settings that would be incompatible with load
balancing/mirroring.
We have considered using Google¹s PUBLIC FREE site search engine but are
hesitant
about the frequency of site crawls and about how customizable the return
template it.
Currently the site is running under a LAMP (linux, mysql, apache, php)
setup.
I could really use The List's combined expertise and advice on this one,
Thanks,
Steve
