Hi all,

I know this is a little off topic but I have been tasked with
implementing a search engine in my website. Does anyone have any
suggestions...I have looked at Google and Verity.

Thanks

Hello AGB,

Lucene.NET [1] is a great search engine and can be customized to do almost
anything you need. You will need to populate its index though.

Matt, I'm assuming your reference is based on having actually used
Lucene.NET?
Would you talk to me --- us --- more about it? Have you used it to spider
sites?

Hello clintonG,

I've used Lucene.NET to spider a stack of xml for my company's document library
creating an index with relevant searchable fields. The only difference between
what I did with Lucene and what would need to be done here is to create the
code to spider the site. Surely theres an abundance of this type of code
on the web though. Once you've done this, its just a matter of populating
the index.

One really nice thing about Lucene.NET is that the indexes generated are
completely compatible with the Jakarta Lucene project (for Java). Also, there
is a very nice API used to create/populate/search the indexes.

Let me know if there are other questions that you have.

Thanks for comments Matt. I've needed search functionality for a web
services project and Lucene is looking good but the project also requires
spidering remote pages. I'll be looking around of course but have you any
referrals to spiders written in .NET?

Google offers web services. Just get a free API and concatenate your
URL into the search string.

Dim strSearch as string = "inurl:http ://Your.Domain/" & tbSearch.text

Hello clintonG,

I've never had to use one, so I cant make a recommendation. However, a google
search for "c# web spider code" yields an article [1] at codeproject.com
as the first hit which looks promising.

This only works if its an internet viable ip address. Given his questions,
Im assuming that this is a LAN web server.
