Open Source Site Search

Post by jballou »

Hey everybody,

I'm looking to integrate a site search into a blog I'm building for a client, but I'm not using an off the shelf blog engine, so it looks like I'll have to roll my own search engine. Does anybody know of a good reliable open-source search engine, preferably one that delivers XML results?

Thanks in advance!

you may want to look on MySQL FullText Indexes,
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/ ... earch.html

he may be very useful on simple cases, if he doesn't stand your demands, you can try PostgreSQL that is a bit more complicated from MySQL:
