yes. i've still to get the site indexed. maybe a quick pm to alexei would do the trick. i was more concerned with getting some half decent paging implemented first, beyond the straightforward bracketing and look-ahead stuff that google et al prefer.

You could use something like http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applic...rchDotnet.aspx but by the time you've read the docs and implemented it, thats way more than $100 of your time gone.

I've used it and at $100 pa it is good value, reliable, excellent search algorithm.

Or try: http://www.google.com/sitesearch/ looks like its ad free and can be branded as yourCo.

site search

i've tried google (needs adverts) and tried bing/live search (simply pants). i've rolled my own (requires real-time spidering). has anyone used a site search tool that you can embed in a site ( using c#) , that searches only that site, stays on that site and which can have indexing on sql server or not, and which enables good paging and ui design?
