Free search results software for linux

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.

panelSearch will open your search results in a sidebar-like panel.

When you search from Firefoxs built-in search bar, your results will open in a sidebar-like panel. Not having to switch back and forth between result tabs is so nice...:D

How to use:
1. Type something in the Firefox Search Bar, and hit Enter.
2. Right-click (or Ctrl+click) any links (results) that you would like to open in a new tab.
3. To hide or unhide panelSearch, go to View Sidebar panelSearch or Ctrl+Shift+S.

Remember to check out the options to change the position and behavior of panelSearch.

POPsearch is a personal search engine that is designed to help you easily organize and find information on your computer. POPsearch lets you index your entire collection of email messages and files. This collection can then be searched remotely from any computer that has a web browser.
POPsearch has features thatre especially appealing to the programming community because it actively allows you to expose and classify data relationships.
Think of POPsearch as a new type of Relationship Engine for your daily flow of information.
With POPsearch, you can easily index your entire collection of email messages and files. This collection can then be searched from any type of web browser.
When POPsearch is configured correctly, you can also access your POPsearch data remotely from any computer that has a web browser.
POPsearch currently supports the following types of data:
- Ascii text
- FrameMaker documents
- LaTeX documents
- Microsoft DBX mailboxes
- Microsoft MBX mailboxes
- Microsoft PST mailboxes
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
- Microsoft Word documents
- PDF documents
- Postscript documents
- RTF documents
- Troff files
- WordPerfect documents
When the indexing is finished, the data is available for analysis with any web browser or in a batch mode from the command line.
The following features are available when POPsearch interacts with a web browser:
- If your computer maintains a connection to the Internet, you can access your POPsearch data remotely from any computer that has a web browser.
- The user can navigate through the entire collection of files and email.
- Popular sources of information are displayed as the user navigates through the data.
- References from/to files are expandable.
- The user can search the entire collection or specific directories.
- The user can also narrow the scope of the search to specific types of data or directories.
- The user can save searches, and mark the valuable items thatre contained in the search results.
- Search results can be expanded through the use of a thesaurus.
- Search results can also be expanded through the use of automatic spell checking.
- The system supports wild card searching (e.g. *string or string*).
- When viewing email topics, the user has the ability to "mine" the email for active and casual participants. For each participant, the user is able to determine the types of information that the user is most interested in.
- Email messages are automatically rated for positive or negative content.
- For every file and email message, the system displays a thumbnail representation of the data.
- The user is able to classify files, saved searches, email, and web sites into various personal research topics. The user also has the ability to search in their personal research.
- Comments can be attached to files and email messages.
- The user can apply personal ratings to files and email messages.
- A collection of themes allows the user to customize the look and feel of the POPsearch interface.
From the command line, POPsearch creates HTML output for CGI purposes, or XML output for other applications.
POPsearch is currently designed to run on *nix platforms.
POPsearch is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2.

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.

pro-search is a crawler for FTP servers, SMB shares, HTTP servers, and DC++ networks.

PloneRSSSearch is a project that allows searching external Plone sites.
Users can get search results from a set of configured external sites based on rss feed.
To configure PloneRSSSearch, a tool can be used : portal_rsssearch. (Properties)
portal_rsssearch : Once installed, the Plone site members, including Anonymous, can get remote "public" contents (contents that Anonymous can see according to the sites policy) that match their search, in addition to the local results.
If the member of the site is also a member of the remote site (with the same user account and password), he gets matching "published" contents in the results list (again, if this is allowed by the remote sites policy). Note : The functionnality is already integrated to Plone by the addition of a customized version of Plones search.pt template, but you can also quickly test it by invoking a URL.
Properties :
searchable_sites : set here the url of the external sites where you want to perform the search.
_addCookies : if checked, authentification cookie will be sent to external searchable sites. So if the user has also an account on these sites (same login, same password) all results he can access will be shown (private, publish, shared ...)
Enhancements:
- Allow rss search with several words
- Thank you to Erick Alves Rezende for Brazilian Portuguese translation.
- changing description
- adding Makefile and py2htmldoc
