need software to build search engine that will do automatic indexing

[cic]

Can anyone recommend software that will help me build a search engine for my site? It needs to have some sort of scheduler so that I reindex automatically.

Thanks

Microsoft Index Server, built into IIS, will do the trick. It reindexes any time a file is added, deleted, or modified which, while not a schedule, should take care of it, yes?

How do I got about using the indexing service in IIS? will it require me to write my own script?

Thanks for your help.

They hide those facts in the documentation.

The documentation does, indeed, do a good job of explaining it.

In addition here's a semi-tutorial which also links to a script you can use to access the catalogs you create:
