[clug] searching for a corporate search system

[Mark Triggs]

Lucene is a popular open-source indexing engine, and Nutch builds on top
of Lucene to provide a crawler/indexer that can handle HTTP, filesystems
and various document types:

  http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/

I must admit I don't have a huge amount of experience with administering
Nutch, but I hear good things about it.  Lucene itself is certainly fast
and very flexible.

Cheers,

Mark
