How we did the "Search" feature
Author : Deepak Shenoy
We got the Search done!
Yep, it's ready. You can now search agnisoft.com.
I've been thinking about how to do this for a while now,
and the only option seemed to be a google link. Until I came across
dotlucene.net.
DotLucene is a .NET port of Java Lucene, and what it
really is is an ultra fast search engine. Instead of going through tons of documentation, I simply went to http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/DotLuceneSearch.asp and modified the code to run though our site instead.
The index has only indexed static pages, but I could make it do dynamic pages too, with some work. Also,
I have to regenerate and upload the index everytime we change the site, which again is something I can
modify to reindex regularly, but I choose not to at the moment (we don't have too much dynamic content, and I'd
like to keep server load low).
Tell us what you think: You can contact us at our feedback page or mail us at info@agnisoft.com.
