I am thinking of changing my web site's homegrown search engine. Before I break out Visual Studio, I wondered if anyone can suggest an alternative that gives me what I need. This being:
The Best Search Engine in The World: Google The search engine is so popular that it's many times larger than all of the world's other search engines combined. Specifically, Google currently holds a whopping 92.18 percent of the worldwide search engine market share.
Many beginners on the web confuse search engines and browsers. Let's make it clear: A browser is a piece of software that retrieves and displays web pages; a search engine is a website that helps people find web pages from other websites.
The .NET version of Lucene is what we've been using. It meets all of your criteria.
You can't really beat Google Site Search for this. It's fully customizable - and no need for embedding or maintaining.
EDIT: found this ASP.NET opensource search engine that you can take and run with, In response to your comment about knowing what google does, this is well documented and they have TONS of webmaster tools for you.
