At my job I'm putting together a web-based search across several repositories. I was going to spider these into flat files on a regular basis for storing local to the web server that runs the search. It's basically bugzilla and our salesforce support ticketing system and knowledge base. I want to have a single search interface that will display results from each repository.

Can anyone recommend a good search package for such an project? I can set up the nightly spidering myself outside of the search engine. I just need something that will then digest the flat files and provide search results.

Any pointers appreciated.

if by flat files you mean ascii then i think grep or awk would be able to scan thru the data.

I think grep and awk can scan through the data, but I am lazy and don't want to write a bunch of code that breaks the search terms apart, scores the results, then returns the highest-scoring matches. I was hoping there was already an available open-source search engine I could apply to this need. Know of one?

thanks,

I think I'm going to give 'OpenSearchServer' a try. Anyone have experience implementing it?
