I have not come up with much in teh way of responses to my questions about
search and index programs for HTML documents. I have run across the code
for perigrinator in Perl, but I am just starting in Perl, and the programmer
is not releasing the entire package.

My hope is to start a specific subject based index covering a narrow range
of topics, and I hope to use my existing collection of links to pages
under this topic are as starting points for an engine to collect and
hopefully to create a database or index from that can be searched or
interpreted into indexes. I am running out of time and spent too much
time looking for existing packages to no avail. (time that I could have
perhaps used for programming)

If anyone knows of any packages that exist - free or commercial - that
could run from a Linux based server to do small scale searching of this
type (or is willing to assist my lack of knowledge to help me build one)
I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
