CNSearch is a cross-platform search system compatible with Windows, UNIX, and Linux servers. It is easy to install, requiring only access to '/cgi-bin' for third party hosting. Customize the search engine by selecting file types, index templates and rules.
One of the things that makes CNSearch unique is that it has two distinct parts: an indexer and a frontend. The indexer is responsible for analyzing web-sites according to specific settings such as file types to be indexed, index templates, rules and plug-ins. The latter allows for precise analysis of .doc, .rtf, and .txt files, which could be helpful for users looking for a support for those file types.
Once the indexer has completed its analysis, the frontend comes to the fore. This software allows for easy searches within the index file created by the indexer. The frontend is essential as it ensures results are easily accessed, and time is not wasted scrolling through thousands of indices.
One of the standout features of CNSearch is that it allows for the installation of the indexer and frontend on different computers. This flexibility provides users with efficient and reliable service. Additionally, the search is incredibly fast, thanks to the index file.
In summary, CNSearch offers a reliable and fast search system that is compatible with both Windows and Unix servers. With its straightforward installation process, two distinct parts (indexer and frontend), and flexibility to install it on different computers, CNSearch is a suitable option for anyone looking to improve their search systems.
