I recently put together a large company intranet site search using
htdig and a simple php wrapper script:

http://www.htdig.org/
I've used the Zoom search engine by Wrensoft 
 with PHP on a Windows system, and it 
worked well. Also, I've never used it, but I've heard that mnoGoSearch 
works, well, too.

I recently put together a large company intranet site search using
htdig and a simple php wrapper script:

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Search-This/
http://www.htdig.org/

This setup allows me a great deal of graphical customization in the
results display while putting all the real work with search results
and search logic on htdig.

I believe swish-e does Unicode, but I'm not 100% sure

My site, that uses php/smarty allows my users to browse products in a
category listing or search.  Currently my search only performs a
'select xxx from where field like ' and show the results.
Even tough it works I'd like to improve it, showing the results by
relevance, proper hadling mispelled words, performing the serach not
only in the product's name etc.

If your using mysql, look at the match()/full text index
functionality it provides.  This can be a usesfull feature.

If you have access to install things on your server I would consider 
using Swish-E, i'm using it on www.question.com and it's working great, 
and it has a php interface.

[PHP] Search engine : build a new one or use an alreadry existing one ?

[robert mena]

Hi,

I need to improve my current "search mecanism" but got stuck in a
dilema : build one or use an existing engine?

My site, that uses php/smarty allows my users to browse products in a
category listing or search.  Currently my search only performs a
'select xxx from where field like ' and show the results.

Even tough it works I'd like to improve it, showing the results by
relevance, proper hadling mispelled words, performing the serach not
only in the product's name etc.

I've tried mnogosearch but I am not sure that I'll be able to
manipulate the query results in order to show only results in the
product section (not the entire site).

Regards,
rt
