Swish-e, a free open-source Unix search engine, Swish-e is fast at indexing and searching, and quite flexible. It can handle simple authentication, indexes HTML, text, XML, and (via converters), PDF, MS Word, Excel and MP3 ID3 tags, with an emphasis on storing feilds/tags for specifying during search. Resuts can be sorted by relevance, date, size, and other fields. It runs as a CGI to a web server (Apache recommended), and has a fairly active user and developer base. New features include adjustments to the relevance algorithm, “near” operator and “?” single character wildcard operator (in addition to “*”).

Small updates to Search tools reports
We’ve updated the following reports on search engines large and small in the last few weeks: i411 has changed its name to Intelligenx and added autocatagorization and multiple language support. Engenium now has OEM library and automatic clustering module. FreeFind now has wildcards for excluding URL paths from indexing, indexes common office document file formats, relevance weight adjustments for URL paths (with wildcards), and some really nice indexing reports — URLs extracted, server response, status, and which URLs are actually in the searchable index. HomePageSearchEngine now indexes more file types. Doclinx now has a web monitoring agent, with support for speech recognition, for research and competitive intelligence, and a language analyzer. Boolean Search now runs natively on both PPC and Intel Mac OS X systems, includes web-based admin, spellchecking and match term highlighting in search results, template and AppleScript integration for search results formatting, standalone search server, and regular expressions in queries. Crawl-it remote service is still being supported. Datagold is no longer a separate search, it’s part of an online archiving suite. Educasoft has no indication of continuing development

Solr Open Source Enterprise Search and Faceted Metadata Server - new Searchtools Report
The Solr Java open-source search engine builds on the Lucene engine, adding more standard tools for indexing, query processing and sending back results. While Solr does not have a site indexing crawler, it can use Nutch or any other robot crawler, and accept content converted from any native format to a simple XML schema. The architecture provides powerful tools for analyzing and transforming text to create a very rich index with structured fields. It accepts a wide variety of query operators, and parameters to control retrieval and ranking, including sorting on specified fields. The default relevance ranking can be tuned to suit the needs of the users and content, and the search results provide the valuable match terms in context for each item. In addition to lists of results, Solr has faceted metadata displays dynamically calculated for search results, allowing users to drill down on topics, date ranges, price, brand or any other attribute. For scaling to millions of documents and high search traffic, the system offers caching configuration, index replication, autowarming for new starts. It’s installed on such high-traffic sites as CNET, shopper.com, and The Internet Archive, showing its scalability, and has active developer and user mailing lists.
