Can anyone recommend a good module for adding good seach capabilities to a web site?
Yes, I know about grep, but I'm looking for something that can report individual hits as well as phrase hits. Ideally, this would provide soundex support as well.
For example, suppose your site catalogs albums and each page provides a track listing. The site is categorized by artist and musical style.
I'm looking for some that lets you search for "giogio morodor evolution" which would return pages listing
- Albums by Giorgio Moroder containing tracks called "Evolution" (one that I know of).
- Albums by other artists that remix "Evolution"
- Albums by other artists containing tracks with "Evolution" in their names.
(Yes, it should be in a database, but let's keep it simple for the moment.)
I noticed that CPAN contains one called Search-InvertedIndex, but that seems really complicated for I thought should be a simple task.
Any suggestions?
