looking for a search script

Post by pedrotuga »

I could hand code it myself, but i think is no need since there is some already avaluable ou there and specially i am not aware of all security worries.

could anybody poit me a functional mysql search script?
i have found some but they all show the full text fields result.

like... if i have a 10000 word field on the database they show the whole text. I am lloking a search script that shows results like:

1.result 1 title
...then drop the eggs on a....
...with tho more eggs added...


2.the eggs team
... all the eggs the throw everywhere they...
... eggs all over the place...
... i do like eggs, not omelets...

Basicaly the way google et al do.

It got invaded by comercial spammers and stuff like that. Besides there are not arsh on the description submition.

I spent hours there and got like three times pointed to each script, or clones. I was kind of in hope that somebody already uses one and could recomend it to me.

Ok, some I haven't used yet but have read some good things about (well, these seem like popular ones)
1 - Tsep (seems like a popular one)
2 - Phpdig (as well)
3 - sphider
4 - growsearch (A very basic one, for smaller sites with static pages)
I'm sure you'l find more with some searching around. These are just a few I selected after a search a year ago.
