Give your Web site its own search engine using Lucene

This article shows the power of Java's OO idea. Apache group builds helpful objects and we can use them or inherit them easily. Cool!

The functionality of Search Engine is very important for website or web application development. Is there any similar object in PHP or Perl?

If you don't have a very big site you can get a free search tool from atomz.com. It's pretty easy to use because all you have to do is add a few lines of their code, kind of like a counter. It's also customizeable and you also get statistics on what words were searched for. Lucene sounds neat but since I've just got a small website atomz is a better fit.
