If you're looking for a search engine for your MS hosted web site, then FindinSite-MS might just be what you need. This software is easily configurable and can be made to look just like a part of your web site. You can also choose when you want to index and highlight result pages, which gives you a lot of control over the whole indexing process.
FindinSite-MS is an ASP.NET application that runs in IIS on a Windows server, so it's compatible with shared Microsoft-based hosts running .NET framework 2.0 or later. There's a Search API XML web service available, which gives complete programmer control. Plus, you won't need any kind of database to make use of it.
Powerful search facilities are available, including booleans and wildcards, word stemming and synonyms, subsets, and meta-data field searches. You can search many different file types, including HTML, PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, PUB, TXT, JPEG, and TIFF files.
FindinSite-MS's user interface is designed to adapt to the user's preferred locale, which is great for international support. The software currently supports 29 Western, Arabic, and Asian languages.
The FindinSite-MS Control Panel makes it easy to set up regular indexing runs to spider through all the files on your site. The output generated by FindinSite-MS is configured using template files, which can optionally incorporate output generated dynamically from ASPX pages.
You can also set up search subsets to search many different sites. The Search API is provided as an XML web service. As a programmer, you'll be able to use this to do searches and then process the results as you wish.
Installation is easy - all you need to do is create a new directory on your site, marked as an application. FindinSite-MS needs file write permission to store its configuration information. Overall, FindinSite-MS is a great search engine for MS hosted web sites that need a powerful yet intuitive search solution.
