We have a web-based application that needs a full text search function, but we are not comfortable with the Notes version. Is anyone aware of any third-party search tools for Domino Web apps?
Thx in advance.

When you say you you are not comfortable with the search function, so you mean the look of it on the web or the results returned?
If you’re not happy with the standard Notes searching, then you’d have to look at products like Google Enterprise or the like.
If it’s just the look and feel of the standard search forms then you can create your own quite easily, run a search in an agent using ftsearch method and return the results formatted as you like. I’ve done this using Ajax to run the agent and return a formatted html table of the results.
I got the idea from a blog somewhere (can’t remember where), but googling it should return some ideas. There’s also a document on the lotus wiki here http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ddwiki.nsf/dx/08042008110135AMKMKKM2.htm
