    Hello,

    I'm looking for a search module that will search pages in the root directory (and down) but are not a part of post nuke. Like if someone were to upload a manual in HTML format, you could search it via Post Nuke. Does anyone know of such a module?

    Thanks!

    Check out my post and solution to the same question here :

    I have implemented successfully a solution that replaces the PN's search and that can search on both static files and databases at the same time. I use the open source DGS Search at http://www.digitalgenesis.com/ and integrate it into PN.

    DGS Search does not require a database of its own. It has its config file. I modify the DGS config file to point to the databases and tables I want to search.
    I add an input form to the theme with the "get method" calling the DGS's main search script.
    Then, I wrap DGS Search's main search script (search.php) into a "blank.php" page with the include header and footer, so that the DGS Search now runs and display results inside PN !
    I have it configured to search on PN's standard modules like Downloads, Web Links, News, Comments, etc... , other DB like photoshare, htmlpages, .... and my static files. It works like charm for me.
    Very configurable with good documentation.
