Web Search - Free CGI and Perl Scripts

These free CGI and Perl scripts allow you to add web search to your website.

WebSearch

WebSearch is a script that allows users to search for key words in documents located on your website. It searches the basic text of the documents, as well as ALT text and any information contained in META "keywords" and "description" tags. The script scores the match URLs based upon the frequency with which the requested key terms appear in the documents, and also lists the date on which each file was last modified. You can easily configure the number of matches which will be displayed on each results page.

The results are returned ranked by how many of the search terms were found in the page.

Daboo Local Search Engine

DLBot.pl indexes the selected site and generates an index based on the page titles, keywords, and description tags, and Page Content. DLSearch.pl searches for keywords in searchdb.txt that have been entered into the form on your search page and returns the results in the HTML template. The major benefit for this search utility is that it requires nothing more than having access to your cgi-bin. You do not need to have MySQL or any other database utilities.
