    Web Site Search Engine Recommendations

    I know this question is asked from time to time, but the offerings change
    often enough that it deserves repeating.

    I have a dynamic database-driven web site using PHP/MySQL on Linux. I need
    to integrate a search tool that will search both the database and static
    pages and output a list of links corresponding to the search string entered.

    I am an experience web developer, but have never worked with web site search
    engines before. I know enough to know that I don't need to write my own. I
    have looked around some and there seems to be a large variety of solutions.
    I'm on a small budget (isn't most everyone?!) so either a free open source
    or reasonable one-time license is required. I need something that's easy to
    configure and auto indexes when new content is added--either to the database
    or static pages.

    All comments/suggestions welcome.

    Thanks!

      There's PHP Dig: http://www.phpdig.net/

      My experience is that it doesn't work very well :-|

      Alternatives welcomed.
