me me!

I got one for you:

Fluffy Search - neat!

see http://www.fluffy.co.uk/fs/

Fluffy Search is a search engine for web sites. It can run on any web
server which supports scripting with perl -- no custom server software
is needed -- and can quickly search even large sites with minimal server
load.

Its main features are:

Word highlighting
When the user follows a link from the search results, the relevant words
in the page are highlighted.
Speed
An index of the contents of your site is generated and used for fast
searching.
Controllable
Fluffy Search can be configured to your requirements. You can even mark
areas, such as navigation, in your HTML pages for exclusion from the
index.
Frames aware
If you use multiple framesets on your site, Fluffy Search can link the
found pages into the correct frameset.

have fun
