Announce - RiSearch Pro
New extended version of search script will be released soon.
Many new features will be available in this script:
- Results sorting by relevancy, file size, date.
- Compact database.
- Keywords highlighting in results.
- Advanced search, with possibility to use logical operators
(AND, OR, NOT).
For example: (word1 AND word2) OR (word3 OR word4)
- Searching in whole site, one part or several parts of site.
This script will be released in september-oktober 2001.
Introduction
RiSearch - simple but powerful search engine.
This script is NOT meant to replace such powerful
search systems like ht://Dig and Glimpse, and of course
it can't compete with commercial software which costs thousands of dollars.
RiSearch intended for small and medium sites with 1000-10000 files and
total volume about 10-100Mb. It should be quite enough for most
amateur sites. However, script is powerful enough to work
with much larger number of files.
Download
You may download this script free for noncommercial purposes.
risearch-0.99.08 (last changes 22.11.01)
Features
RiSearch does not use any libraries or database systems, just
pure Perl. Therefore, it could be used on any server where you have
account with CGI (even on some free hosting providers).
Contrary to the big search systems, like ht://Dig or Glimpse,
source code of RiSearch takes about 20 kilobytes. Any webmaster
with average knowledge of perl is able to get himself familiar with
script algorithm and to modify it according to his needs.
Script is able to work with different languages.
Simple and convenient query language.
RiSearch uses platform independent binary files which can be used
on any system. Therefore, it is possible to index local copy of your
site on your home computer under Windows, and then use produced files
on remote server.
Demo
For demonstration of script capabilities Locus index
(5500 files, 130Mb of text information) was indexed. You can test it and see
searching speed:
