 Need decent Search Engine for FP2002

All FP friends

I need a sophisticated search engine for my Intranet site. I must have search (log) confidentiality, flexibity and power. I do not want adverts and be able to simply retrieve search results from our server.

The engine in FP2002 is inadequate according to our users (verified by web stats analysis). For example, it would be useful to offer alternative places to search, or words to use for unmatched results. A detailed tracking facility to see what reports are most and least requested would be useful as would searching by PDF files.

I have been suggested Lurch Search, which I am currently reviewing.

Thanks
Damian
