[thelist] Search Script Advice

Hi all,

I have a site that needs a search engine, and I'm hoping you all can help. It's
on a Linux machine, we can use Perl or PHP and a mySQL database.

What I'm looking for, is a script that will search an articles database as well
as the html pages and pull links up (of course) of the results.

My problem is, I'm having a hard time finding a PHP search script that doesn't
make me change the pages the search box is on to .php instead of .html (the
search box is on *all* the pages of the site, all the pages are .html except a
few, so I'd have to change all pages to .php with the one's I've found and I
don't wanna do that). I'm having a hard time finding a Perl script that searches
mySQL databases...

so I'm heaving a big sigh and asking for recommendations. Anyone?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Gina
