Search Tools
Below are a couple of alternatives to the search tool that is included with X2/X4.
Zoom Search
It’s produced by Wrensoft.com and is free to use on sites below 50 pages.
This site is over the 50 pages and not to infringe on the T & C have only index
50 pages so when you try this out not all will be found.
It is customisable to a degree but with the added benefit of highlighting of the
search word in the results for quick checking of the results.
Sphider
Sphider is a popular open-source web spider and search engine. It includes an automated
crawler, which can follow links found on a site, and an indexer which builds an index
of all the search terms found in the pages. It is written in PHP and uses MySQL as
its back end database (requires version 4 or above for both)
If you need any more help let me know and I’ll help if I can.
The next couple of pages show an example of the search in use.
