[Sigia-l] search-engine for small site

[Avi Rappoport]

Unfortunately, small site search engines rarely have phrase searching 
or synonyms.  Many will show meta description tags in results though. 
Check out Perl scripts and HomePageSearchEngine on SearchTools.com.

Search services might work better for you, you can try Atomz (free to 
500 pages) and SearchEngine.com (free with banner ads).  Both have 
data centers in the UK so you don't have to go across the world for 
every query.  MondoSearch has the same features but no free version.

Please feel free to contact me directly for more information.
