Whenever, I read comparative reviews of the range of free search engines different people seem to have strong opinions about which is the best option. Google seems to come out regularly as the best option, with many third party addins expanding its capability.

Woody’s Office Watch guide to Search engines is probably worth the $15.00 if you want a comprehensive comparison of the free Search engines.

The curent version is January 2006, and its 157 pages long giving a very detailed comparison. Neither DTSearch or Archivarius are included.

I hae just become aware in the last few years how much I spend on upgrading software, of which I only use a fraction of its capability, and have started to look for FOSS or low cost alternatives.
