[QUOTE="David Winter, post: 1307469, member: 217645"] Hello guys, I have a few small web sites built completely from static pages - no CMS (yeah, that's oldskool :) ). I’d now like to add site search to these sites – i.e. a local search engine that will allow a visitor to search the HTML pages of this site. If it could also index PDF and Word documents on those sites, even better. Now [URL="http://www.google.de/sitesearch/"]Google Site Search[/URL] and other commercial, web-based services are simply too expensive for these non-commercial projects, so I'd like to use an installable, binary software for spidering and creating indexes for these sites. I have found products that will create a search feature/index for a web site, but they are Windows only: [url=http://wrensoft.com/zoom/]Zoom[/url] + [url=http://www.searchmakerpro.com/]Search Maker Pro[/url] and a few others. Does anyone know about Mac apps doing the same (i.e., build a search index for a site and make it available to site visitors using some JavaScript)? I haven't found anything so far. It would be nice if I could do all web site production tasks in OS X. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
