I am new to drupal. I did search functionality using drupal core search but it is inefficient.Suggest me any third party search server(like apache solr) and their modules.
There is a list of providers on the Search API Solr Search modules page.
The Search API module module can be used with a mysql database backend which gives you the extra features of search api but unfortunatly not the speed of Solr.
You can also always use Google Custom Search:

I am using Google Search Appliance (GSA) on a project. We wanted to use query expansion to make searching more effective. Currently we are using the front-end to upload the synonym file.
Is there an API which GSA provides to automatically upload the synonyms. An API does exist for Google Custom Search, but could not find one for GSA.
Thanks in advance.
There is not a direct API for this. The API to the administrative console can be found

You could write a screenscrapper and perform a form post to achieve what you are wanting to do.
i want a java library, to search a text on Google and returns some pages based on text and semantic similarity. is there any API doing this job?
i wrote a crawler myself and search to specific depth from a root page, but i dont know how to input a text as a search query for Google.
Google provides the Custom Search API which you can use to search Google from code.
You'll need to create a google account if you don't already have one, create a custom search engine, generate an API key, and then use that as part of your request. You can get the results as JSON or as an Atom XML.
The documentation for this is available at https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview
There's no java library, as such, so to actually call the API, you'll need to either use java.net.URL and java.net.URLConnection, or a REST client library like the one that jersey ships with.
i tried drupal core search and its kinda disappointing, i used many moudles to improve it but its not good enough, and i dont wana install apachesolr , is there a search engine api / service (even that costs some 10-200$) that can index my site better and wont expose the data in drupal to the engine public search like google do?
Acquia offers hosted Solr Search, which wouldn't require you to "install" Apache Solr. They take care of installing and hosting it on their servers. You'd just need to install and enable the associated modules.
I have a login-protected website. It's an internal application and it's not avaiable to the general public hence it's not indexed by any search engine.
My application is developed on the Google App Engine.
I would like to add a search engine but obviously without the need to public index it. There's any solution avaiable from Google/Bing/Others for a situation like this?
Have you done this before? What solution did you chose and what are yours results?
Well Google has the Google Search Applicance which is basically a blade server which lives on your internal network and creates a "private" index. But this is meant as an enterprise caliber solution (translation: expensive).
Which framework is your website running on? You may be able to find an indexing/search module.
To answer the latter part of the question... I've used Xapian in a Django based website (via the djapian adapter). It basically creates a full-text index. Results are maybe not as good as Bing or Google would generate but it's still quite good; easy to use API too.
Is there any way to add google search results into your site such that the results appear under your domain (and the page doesn't get redirected to google.com)? I know about google cse but this is not a free solution. Is paying for CSE the only way? Thanks.
Use the Google AJAX Search API (my emphasis):
The Google AJAX Search API lets you
put Google Search in your web pages
with JavaScript. You can embed a
simple, dynamic search box and display
search results in your own web pages
or use the results in innovative,
programmatic ways.
You just need JavaScript - nothing server-side.
You could use Google Search API.
You could also query Google search engine through a Web Service. Here's the WSDL and here's the FAQ. But I think this will be discontinued in favor of the first suggestion I gave.
I've never used this but if you're into python check out Python Library for Google Search from Peteris Krumins’ blog.
What about this? http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/web.html
And there should be even API for PHP etc.
