    Best practices for adding search engine to site

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to know what you typically use to add a
    search engine to your sites. Do you build your own
    search engines, do you use existing PHP classes,
    do you use htdig, etc. ?

    My preference would be to use htdig, but on the htdig
    site there's only a small list of hosting providers
    that provide this and google doesn't help me too much
    either. So I would also like to know your experience
    about whether hosting providers normally offer htdig
    or if it is an exception or if they do normally offer
    it but always against a high price ?

    Best regards,

    Eric

          No longer maintained, but: http://phpdig.toiletoine.net/

          Or, at the cost of having adverts in search result pages, you can use
          freefind - http://www.freefind.com/

          Take a look at http://www.ysrnry.co.uk/cover1.htm to see it being used,
          and to see how it can be customis/zed.

              I don't believe I didn't think of it myself :-)
              Thanks, good suggestion !

              Best regards,

              Eric

                  Thanks, I think I'll try Google first, as Andre suggested,
                  but if I need more customized search and result pages,
                  I'll take a look at these alternatives.

                  Best regards,

                  Eric
