Hi Simon
ht://dig does this:
Htnotify scans the document database created by htmerge and sends an email
message for every page that is out of date. Look in the notification manual
for instructions to set up this service.
http://www.htdig.org/htnotify.html
Note that your search engine can run on a different platform to your Web
server.
ht://Dig is the most popular search engine in UK Universities.
