I'm looking for a search engine to intergrate with a .NET site. The site is primarily written in C# but the engine could be in VB.NET, or pretty much anything providing it works out of the box. We need it to be able to search on any number of fields in any number of table, and views, in an SQL Server database. It should be able to do complex, multiple phrase AND/OR searches and should be able to weight results. It need not be more complex than that. If anyone knows of a product like this I'd greatly appreciate some info as I've not been able to come up with much so far. We would be willing to pay for licences of course.

It has all the features you mentioned, including weighting, (although you'll obviously want to be sure that it does them the way you need) and is included with SQL Server. It is a separate install though, from the selection page for SQL Server setup.

Too much work not enough sleep. Thanks Don, I really appreciate it.

Maybe I'll take a look. Thanks, Don 2003-08-22T17:48:12-04:00
