Writing a search/indexing tool

Post by neophyte »

Can anybody recommend a good library/class for creating a website content search tool? Something that handles indexing and eliminates dumb searches for two letter words...

Thanks

If your content is stored in a database, FULLTEXT indexes are where it's at. You can do it manually, but the database will often do it faster and more efficiently. ;)
