ASP.NET: Internal Site Search

Question

I'm searching for some internal site search code.

The scenario is:

I'm having a site in which the content comes from database (CMS) which makes the pages dynamic. So the search tool should search this dynamic content too.

I don't want to use readymade search engines like google, bing etc....

Do I need to make my own search control for this or would I get a ready code? If I would have to make my own then what approach should I take?

Answer 1

You can use google search to search in your pages, see How can I add a Google search box to my Web site?

Answer 2

Lucene.NET can search files and database, or any text-based content. See here how to start. You can also buy a book. For documentation, you can search for Java examples, wikis and docs, because it's direct port so most of concepts for on .NET version also.
