[thelist] ATOMZ To End Free Search -- Other Options?

[Web Designers]

The paid Atomz service is very expensive indeed: many £s/$s...

The best I've found was the one Joe Leech suggested:

Only downside so far seems to be that the index has to be recreated
manually each time the site is changed.

The paid versions have the PDF plug-in which again is fine except that
it cannot spider protected PDFs (even if they allow content extraction
for accessibility, but not for cut and paste).
