Recommendations for a site search engine?
The author's views are entirely their own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz.
I need recommendations for a site search engine that does the following:
I don't want to use the google API. It takes too long to update it's index and I'd like the site index to be updated hourly. I've already tried phpdig, tsep, and php-crawler. Phpdig was the best of all of them, but their templating system (and php code in general) is horrendous and I'm about ready to give up on it. I've also heard mention of Lucene being a great alternative to using mysql fulltext indexes, but I think it's overkill for what I need.
I'm looking for something that uses php and mysql.
Any suggestions?
- Spiders your site's content to X levels deep
- Build a database of page titles, urls, and content
- Provide a searchable front-end that is easily customizable to match an existing site
