Web Site Search Engine Tool based on Lucene / Nutch

[wmrobwl]

Hi,

I am currently debating search engine tools for our web site. I know google mini is a great tool that can be applied to this, but 3 grand is alot of money. I did some searching for some open source stuff and found Lucene and Nutch. (You can Google them to find out more). This stuff looks great but I can only find server side documentation for this stuff and cant find any stuff on how to actually implement this into your html.

Any one know anything about this?

Very interesting technologies... I would search around on MSN for them, if you want more documentation...

I found a book called "Lucene in Action", but I'm still not too sure if this book will show how to implement their search engine with your front end html.

Any one else have any experience with using Nutch or Lucene?
