HouseSpider is a Java applet that adds indexing and search capability to Web sites (and to local files and CD-ROMs). It can search by two methods: by spidering through the site, or by searching a cached index file. Spider-searching is slow, but very easy to set up and requires no maintenance. Cache-searching requires only a little more attention to set up and is sometimes even faster than CGI programs. HouseSpider also supports compression of the index file and boolean searches. Translations for several languages are provided, and it can handle Web sites in any language or encoding. The applet can also run as a stand-alone application.

Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine written entirely in Java.

JSearch applet can be used together with JSMenu applet or as standalone site search tool. It can search through the site tree-shaped contents or in some index files (or via CGI) for keywords ("all words", "any word" and "phrase" options are available). You can provide one or more index files simultaneously to search into (like "complete archive", "old archive", "new archive" etc.).

Searchlink can be included on any html webpage and does not require a Java server. A web site visitor uses the search engine in a similar way to other Internet search engines, once a list is returned the links can then be followed with a single click over the appropriate link name. The links themselves are stored and formatted in a text file, this allows easy editing and fast access. Like many popular search engines Searchlink allows for "all word" or "any word" searches. These keywords are compared with the keywords you supply when creating the links text file.

Using db.js and db.txt created by <a href=http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/3692.html target="_3692">indexTHIS</a>, searchTHIS Applet conduct searches for words or phrases entered by your web site visitor. When the user types in a phrase and clicks the search button, the applet will search the db.txt file for the words. It will then associate the words with the appropriate link. During this association, it also saves a score of that link based on the number of times the words appear in the html file. Results that are returned are printed out in descending order, the first having the highest score and the last having the lowest score.

PersonalSearch allows you to create a search engine for you own site. You decide what keywords it should respond to and what URLs are included in the engine. It also offers 100% control of the search abilities. This requires from you a little work: for every document you must specify a location(URL),a title and some keywords (keywords are not required). This information is stored in a file, which the applet reads from. Now you have the option of adding comments in the file. The comments will be ignored when searched. This makes it possible to easily administer large sites. The search applet will only work in browsers supporting java 1.1 and higher (ie. Netscape 4.06+ and MSIE 4.0+).
