I'm working on an intranet site (using Zope). Now I need to make the site searchable. Tried using htdig, but without luck (should it work with zopesites?).
Unless you do something tricky, I doubt you will be able to get normal search engines to work with a Zope site, since I belive that most search engines want to read HTML files from the filesystem for indexing.
[Apologies if this post is considered off-topic on this list] You might want to try Webinator, an outstanding search engine available at: http://www.thunderstone.com/webinator/ It's free to use for up to 10,000 documents. It works by fetching documents over HTTP (not your file system), so it should work with Zope. However, the free version requires an Internet connection to check with the license server, so it might be impractical for an intranet soluition without full Internet access.
