I'd be happy to host a search engine on my site. I'm not prepared to write one from
scratch though, so if anyone has any suggestions of what the best 'off-the-shelf'
solutions are I'd love to hear.
One option is to use Google. Have a look at this link
<http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:perl.apache.org/guide/performance.html+%22mod_perl+guide%22&hl=en>
(put it on one line, of course). It highlights the searched terms ('mod_perl' 'guide'
in this case). Google doesn't allow searches within a site. However, if the same
unique string were placed on each page of the guide, adding that string to the search
query would only return hits from the guide. I think the best way to do this would be
to create a custom search page that links to Google, and automatically includes the
unique string in the request.
Of course, if there are any free search tools that provide this functionality and come
with source, that would be even better!
