Dieselpoint is a pure Java search engine that indexes metadata and field attributes as well as text and documents, allowing users to navigate within search results - faceted metadata search and browse. It indexes HTML, XML, pdf (Adobe Acrobat), Microsoft Office, and text files, as well as JDBC connectors for DB2, Oracle, Informix, MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Cloudscape, and near-real-time incremental index updating. It can handle up to forty languages and provides stemming for European languages. Additional features include spellchecking, synonyms, special weighting of search results, and extensive search administrator reports and controls. Definitely worth looking at for faceted metadata, at a lower price than most others.

DataparkSearch - Searchtools Report Update
DataparkSearch is a free open-source search engine written in C by some smart people in Russia as an offshoot of the MnogoSearch project. The biggest strength of this application is how well it handles languages and character sets. It supports internationalized domain names and proper word-segmentation (tokenization) in many languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai. It can perform language detection on both text files and user queries. Spellchecking, abbreviation and synonym query expansion are on a per-language basis. This search engine has some fancy Information Retrieval features like fuzzy searching, Boolean queries, and their own “Neo popularity ranking” based on neural network research and link analysis. Results templates include several innovative than simple listings (I’m not sure if I like them, but they’re interesting). It also has caching of the index files, search templates and the code, and can distribute indexes and search servers among multiple machines, for better responsive time.However, the code is distributed in source format for local compilation, and all the features are set via config files and runtime parameters — it requires some comfort with command lines and programming tools. But there’s an excellent manual and an active forum of users and developers.

Subject Search Server (SSServer) Searchtools Report Updated
Subject Search Server indexes local text and HTML files only, handles many languages and character sets. It has a technical and ambitious interface, offering control over the length and number of extracts to display, as well as defaulting to fuzzy search — matching parts of the query terms rather than the more standard exact match — which can be changed in the search form. Although it’s free (with a link to the Kryloff site) on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, it lacks a robot spider for indexing via HTTP, has less-than-user-friendly search form and results pages, and has no admin interface, using only configuration files.

Vivisimo Search, Clustering and MetaSearch Engines - new reportThe Velocity search engine can crawl and index web sites, local file servers, Lotus Notes and relational databases (using XML).

It takes advantage of available metadata and provides multi-level access control, simple and advanced search, and browser-based administration.The Content Integration engine sends queries to Velocity and other search engines, either using their formal federation interface or as an HTTP request, and integrates the results.The Clustering engine processes results from the Velocity search engine and/or the Content Integration engine, and creates on-the-fly clusters in named folders based on the search results.
