Hello, Just trying to do some research on changing up our search that we are using.  What are other folks using for larger sites?  We have around 8,000 some active pages and currently using a zoom search with custom interface.  I was trying to find out more about Lucene Search that I thought was being used in DNN Professional but not seeing to much documentation.  Thanks for any ideas or help

We have an internal intranet website that isn't that large but I'm very happy with the Lucene search engine in DNN Pro. It can take a while to indexs everything the results are very nice. Being able to index the documents is great.

My advice is to enable it on a custom page and check it out. Just be sure to select your entire site (parent portal and all child portals) in the admin module to index everything. Also, the results module can be set to show results from any or all portals.

DNN Pro includes (acquired) Xipient OpenSearch module, which spiders the websites like Google or another search engine does, while DNN core search uses a scheduled job to index modules from internally. There are 3rd party extensions for DNN CE search, using Lucene as well (e.g. from Aricie) as well as extensions to include results from MS Index Server (e.g. for office and pfd documents).
