Hi,
Nice Article Vincent.
Dear Ravi you can index sites using Sphider +,
but the problem is that there are several bugs in this application-
e.g-
very slow crowling rate,
extra resource utilization
error in indexing etc

Ravi -

Unless there has been an update since I wrote this then no, but nothing would stop you writing a script to generate the necessary records in the Sphider DB to allow it to produce the results as required by a search. Hope this helps. might make for an interesting article :)

Hi,

Thanks for the article.

I have a PHP/MySQl driven site… And my question is can I use Sphider to index my database tables and provide me the search results.

Thank You.
