About:
ASPseek is an Internet search engine, written in C++ using the STL library. It consists of an indexing robot, a search daemon, and a search frontend (CGI or Apache module). It can index as many as a few million URLs and search for words and phrases, use wildcards, and do a Boolean search. Search results can be limited to time period given, site, or Web space (set of sites) and sorted by relevance (PageRanks are used) or date. It is optimized for multiple sites (threaded index, async DNS lookups, grouping results by site, and Web spaces), but can be used for searching one site as well. It can work with multiple languages/encodings at once (including multi-byte encodings such as Chinese) due to optional Unicode storage mode. Other features include stopwords and ispell support, a charset and language guesser, HTML templates for search results, excerpts, and query words highlighting.

Release focus: Major bugfixes

Changes:
A new UTF-8 storage mode was added. A MaxDocsAtOnce parameter was added to speed up indexing of many sites. Manpages were added for aspseek(7), aspseek.conf(5), s.cgi(1), s.htm(5), searchd(1), and searchd.conf(5). The -R switch was added to "searchd" for auto-restarting in case of SEGV. Many small fixes concerning robots.txt processing, redirect handling, and HTTPS support were made. The amount of memory required for multibyte dictionaries was significantly reduced in both "searchd" and "index". Some rare searchd coredumps were fixed.

[»] Aspseek is discontinued
by Search Man - Feb 1st 2006 16:47:06

It's obvious that SWSoft does not develop and support this great project any more. Sadly... However there are another version where a lot of bugs were fixed and some features was added, like mysql 4 and gcc 3.2 support. As far I know this is the last and most stable version (we run in successfully on our site last year). You can download it from http://www.newjobdirect.co.uk/aspseek/. Search Man
