Do any of you guys know of a free, or very cheap script for crawling sites? A search engine script? I need open source to customize... but I didn't wanna re-invent the wheel if there is something out there to start from. Programming lang isn't important..... I'm adaptable :)

Thanks in advance!

Try cnet and then type in what your looking for in the search engine

Are you wanting something like SiteFerret (http://www.web-demos.co.uk/products/product.asp?pid=4) or even WebWiz Site Search (http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/sample_scripts/site_search_script.asp)?

Maybe http://www.mnogosearch.org/ it looks like it uses a SQL database for the backend. Don't know what lang.

Acutally was looking for something like a real search engine. Sounds like I'm going to have to build it myself though. Haven't really found much in the way of what I need. Thanks for the tips tho :)

SiteFerret / WebWiz is a search engine only for your site. Or do you mean more like a directory to store links?

I think http://openfts.sourceforge.net/ will let you index pages that are from other sites and not just your own.
