I want to put a search facility on one of my sites for visitors to use - just within the site.

Atomz and FreeFind are possibilities - has anyone any recommendations on these or other (free) site searches?

Thanks and regards to all.

I've been using Atomz for over a year now and haven't had any problems, at all.[nbsp][nbsp]The template editor is easy and you have full control, except for their small logo which isn't bad.[nbsp][nbsp]The indexing function works well and they have nice options (like entrypoints, masks, metatags to use, etc.)[nbsp][nbsp]I did have a couple questions when I first signed up with Atomz, and their tech staff were very helpful and very nice people (especially considering that I'm using their free service too!)

I use Atomz as well and have had no problems with their service. However, I did notice that their search program is not as poweful as I expected, that's probably because I'm using the free service.

Thanks, Jeff & Tony.[nbsp][nbsp]Atomz seems to be good bet.

Before I 'take the plunge', though - does anyone have any views on FreeFind (or other alternatives)?

Thanks again.

I'm still pondering this one, but for anyone else who's looking for site search, this URL may be handy:
