I have an internal (intranet) site that is comprised of several blogs and forums, hundreds of static pages, lots of PDF files and several other document types. Its been glued together loosely over the last couple of years and now its my job to maintain it.

I'm looking for a search engine that I can host myself that ideally:

Allows for searching the Blog / Forum databases directly if given the database information and tables to search.
Handles most text documents (PDF/DOC/ODF)
Is open source, or allows access to the source code once purchased

It doesn't matter to me what language or platform it is written in. Normally, I'd just use Google site search, but that's not an option for an intranet.

I've used Sphider before and have been quite impressed.

Check out Lucene

Written in Java also available for the .NET framework

Here's a CodeProject article that explains how it works and how it's used. www.codeproject.com/KB/library/IntroducingLucene.aspx
