Free search box software for linux

DGS Search was created to provide an easy to install search utility capable of handling filesystem and database searches on UNIX and Windows based platforms.

DGS Search is aimed at supporting the small to medium sized web site.

WWW::Search is a collection of Perl modules which provide an API to WWW search engines like WebCrawler, AltaVista, Hotbot, Lycos and so on. Currently WWW::Search includes back-ends for variations of AltaVista, Lycos, and HotBot.

We include two applications built from this library: AutoSearch (an program to automate tracking of search results over time), and a small demonstration program to drive the library. Back-ends for other search engines and more sophisticated clients are currently under development.

WWW::Search includes AutoSearch, an program to automate web-based searches.

Search::Tools are tools for building search applications.

SYNOPSIS

use Search::Tools;

my $re = Search::Tools->regexp(query => the quick brown fox);

my $snipper = Search::Tools->snipper(query => $re);

my $hiliter = Search::Tools->hiliter(query => $re);

for my $result (@search_results)
{
print $hiliter->light( $snipper->snip( $result->summary ) );
}

Search::Tools is a set of utilities for building search applications. Rather than adhering to a particular search application, the goal of Search::Tools is to provide general-purpose methods for common search application features. Think of Search::Tools like a toolbox rather than a hammer.

Examples include:

Parsing search queries for the meaningful keywords
Rich regular expressions for locating keywords in the original indexed documents
Contextual snippets showing query keywords
Highlighting of keywords in context

Search::Tools is derived from some of the features in HTML::HiLiter and SWISH::HiLiter, but has been re-written with an eye to accomodating more general purpose features.

Shut The Box project is a simple diversion written in C and GTK+. The object is simple: roll the dice and click the tiles that sum up to that dice roll until there are no more tiles to click.

Shut The Box is based off of those little wooden puzzles with dice and tiles. My first exposure was playing this as a BBS Door on a BBS my friend ran.

The concept was simple enough so I tried writing it for my own Atari BBS (with the help of another more experienced SysOp).

After I took the BBS offline, the game concept grew from an idea into a sort of “Hello World” application I’d write in order to become more familiar with a language. Hence, this is my “Hello World” for GTK+, although I have several other applications brewing in GTK+.
