We use webglimpse, http://donkey.CS.Arizona.EDU/webglimpse/ http://tucson.com/webglimpse/ which is rather long in the tooth but is being developed (they are currently writing meta tag indexers for it). Its not as good as ht://dig, except in some key areas. ht://dig has some great features, like splitting results into pages, fuzzy searching and relevance scoring. I've almost decided to use it but at the mo. I've stuck with webglimpse because 1. it allows you to search subsections of an index by adding a filter statement. With a large and complex site its much easier to create several specific search boxes as well as one overall facility. 2. it can jump to the line of HTML containing the word(s) 3. The latest version 1.7.7 can search on fields (eg metatags) but we have not intalled that as yet.
