PHP Search Script recommendations?

Folks,

Can anyone recommend a script which will add a search capability to my
site pls?

I need one which will work with PHP version 4.3.2 which has
register_globals set to OFF by my ISP and which does NOT require a
database.

I am currently using one which was written by Tim Henderson
(http://web-bureau.com) which is excellent apart from it being a little
slow as it doesn't use any indexing files. There is also one at
warpedweb.net but I can't get it to work with 4.3.2 and emails to
support bounce :(

Cheers

>Hmm... You can't use a database, but you want to index... How?
Flat files? But they are not likely to give you much performance
improvement over searching your files directly...

Cheers,
NC


My account does not include access to a database. The routines I have
already mentioned use flat files and result in *dramatic* performance
improvements it's just that they don't work with the version of PHP on
my ISP's servers. I need one which uses flat files but will work with
register_globals set to OFF. Thanks.

Thanks looks good (http://www.htdig.org/) but from what I can gather, I
would need a host which is Unix based and mine is NT based :(
