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.
If your search engine works via http it should work OK with Zope. Thunderstone Webinator (thunderstone.com) does this, and there's a free version that I think will do up to 10,000 docs. (The commercial version costs $700.) There's a command-line switch that tells Webinator to go ahead & index URLs that include /cgi- bin/. -- Wade Leftwich (satisfied Thunderstone customer).
