HTML Search Engine

[BadRobot]

I was browsing around the internet looking for suggestions for a search engine but most of them were for inserting code that linked to google and then let google search your website for results. Since google does not have access to my website it is useless.

Anyone know if it is possible/efficent to code a search engine in HTML for a small internal website?

There was an open source one from the apache/jakarta project called Lucerne I worked a little bit with years ago. Maybe check that out? It's Java based. Do you have any specific programming language or platform requirements?

The mini google would be overkill for sure, at worst we have 250 pages to search through and at least 50 of those don't have relevant information in them if as far as the search function goes...

I'm a nub when it comes to search engines, would it really require running a sqle? The amount of information that it would be searching is limited and is not actively updated. When I add new information to the website I would not be opposed to manually adding it to the database the search engine would use to find links...

If I misunderstood how it works let me know, I'm won't get defensive...or bite.. promise

EDITfor spelling, I'm tired
