Re: Search Engine for IBMi Intranet Site

Our company implemented swiftype a couple years back.

As far as I know it has worked reasonably well and not too expensive.

Subject: [WEB400] Search Engine for IBMi Intranet Site

We are looking for a way to set up search functionality for the intranet (running on IBMi) for our Fire and Emergency services department. Because of the nature of much of our content, the site exists behind a secure login so we can't simply have Google index it and plug in their services. While we would love an open source or inexpensive third-party solution, most of what I've researched that can crawl and index our content (including in documents such as .pdf, .doc, xlsx, etc.) and function in a secure site is either extreme overkill and/or very expensive. Can anyone share any suggestions/solutions if you have been in a similar situation?
