Stamp_Guy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Could someone point me to some well designed perl search engines so I can look at their code?

    Though I have no connection with them, I spent a little time optimizing Perlfect Search. It seems to do its job pretty well (or did, in the version I was playing with). As far as design, well... it seems to be OK if a bit naive about various Perl idioms.

    Head off to merlyn's page and look at his Web Techniques Columns! You might also define what you mean by "search engine" a bit more. Do you mean web spider, word frequency stuff, file find, etc...

    I have no affiliation with these people, but KSearch from KScripts is what I have provided my corporate clients. It creates a database for the whole site, and searches that, so it is really fast. I don't like the way that the indexing script is all by its lonesome, and doesn't run well via a web browser (it times out,) but that's fixable.

    Check out http://kscripts.com/ksearch/

    What about ht://DIG? This thing is quite amazing in terms of what it can do. I think it's written in C, though.

    Another is SWISH-E, in a similar vein as ht://DIG.

    WordIndex isn't as feature-rich as the above, but for code examples you might find it useful. It extracts text from pdf, .wpd, .doc, and other docs too.

    What kind of searching do you want to do? This is a pretty broad topic. You probably don't need to use a system which is mainly C++ like htdig for something small. To start with what kind of data are you searching, what volume of data, and how many people are going to be searching?
