    PHP Search Script recommendations?

    Folks,

    Can anyone recommend a script which will add a search capability to my
    site pls?

    I need one which will work with PHP version 4.3.2 which has
    register_global s set to OFF by my ISP and which does NOT require a
    database.

    I am currently using one which was written by Tim Henderson
    (http://web-bureau.com) which is excellent apart from it being a little
    slow as it doesn't use any indexing files. There is also one at
    warpedweb.net but I can't get it to work with 4.3.2 and emails to
    support bounce :(

    Cheers

    My account does not include access to a database. The routines I have
    already mentioned use flat files and result in *dramatic* performance
    improvements it's just that they don't work with the version of PHP on
    my ISP's servers. I need one which uses flat files but will work with
    register_global s set to OFF. Thanks.

        Thanks looks good (http://www.htdig.org/) but from what I can gather, I
        would need a host which is Unix based and mine is NT based :(
