[thelist] Website Search Engine Recommendations?

[Raditha Dissanayake]

Hi,

It is said that ASPSeek (which despite the name has nothing to do with 
ASP) can be made to run on windows quite easily. I use it on linux and 
know it to be fast efficient and configurable. It's origins are in 
mnogosearch which has already been recommended. I can recommend it too 
but i stopped using it since i switched to aspseek.
