Open source or free search engines

[Edward Glowacki]

I'm trying to get mnogosearch to work, since it seems to be the
most promising.  However, so far I'm having a hell of a time
understanding anything at all how to configure it.  There really
isn't anything resembling a quickstart, you pretty much have to
read through a bunch of docs, edit a bunch of config files, etc.
Now I'm trying to look at the PHP frontend to the search, and that
requires recompiling PHP with support for the mnogosearch module...
So thusfar, I haven't even been able to build a test index and do
a test search... =(
