[TriLUG] Internal Search Engines/Appliances

[Kevin J.]

We use the latest gen Google Mini, but it won't suit your needs if you're searching databases. It's also reasonably pricey at $3k/100k Documents. You can spend over $30k for the Enterprise-level Google One appliance or look at something like Thunderstone which uses Texis (http://www.thunderstone.com/texis/site/pages). You could download Webinator from that site and load it up on a server to see if it suits your needs.

I looked for open source search engines a while back but didn't find one that seemed to have what we needed. Nutch definitely seems to be the best option, but I haven't tried it.

I'm in the beginning stages of looking at what our options are for a 
corporate  Intranet search engine.  Ideally I would want to index all 
our internal webservers and or the databases within them, plus our 
SMB/CIFS.  I'm not sure I want to index mail at this point.
