How to display a Related Searches suggestions on a Search Result page..
So for example, if I'm searching for SSL, I want to suggest.. SSL Certificates, SSL Seal, Secure Site using SSL, Premium SSL Certificate as a suggestions...
Is this something which can be developed using Solr? As we're performing searches using Solr 4.0.
Solr does not provide Out of the Box suggestions for previous searches.
SO if you want to suggest related searches with Solr, you have to index the previous searches and then provide them as Auto suggestion.
You can do it as the search is performed or mine the query logs for the same.
The approach can be using normal search as I see from you example where you are trying to look only for SSL in the content of the previous search performed.

Greetings fellow developers,
I would like to ask for help regarding the following problem: Is there a way to request removal of stored website data from search engines? Most of the links that show up when searching my domain are old and non-existent.
What I've found from personal research regarding this question/problem:
From my personal research I have found that removal requests can be made individually to the well-known search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing, but this is not what I am looking for, since I am well-aware that it would take a lot of time for the requests to be processed and the removal of the data to be done. Also, I wasn't able to find this "removal-request" webpage for the other search engines.
To be more precise/clear...
... I want to request this website-data-removal to all (most) search engines at once, so that when I upload my new website (to the same domain), working and functional links (URLs) would be displayed. Can this be anyhow achieved and, if so, how? Also, how much time would it take for this removal to be finished?
Hope my question is clear enough, and any answer/help would be very much appreciated.
No, there is not a way to do this for all search engines at once. You will have to request it from each site individually. As for the smaller search engines you can try and find any contact information or customer support however their is a chance they will ignore your request (heck, some sites ignore the robot.txt file and just search your site anyways... it's just a part of being on the web).
I might get flagged down by this question.. but still will give it a shot..
Since Google Site Search is going out of business and we are not interested in the free version of it - We decided to go with the Amazon Cloud Search option. The challenge though is - it is not straight forward. We have to build a crawler and there are some features that needs to be custom built.
I am trying to see examples where websites have used ACS and worked but i am not able to find anything good.. Have anyone tried using Amazon Cloud search for their Website search. Our website has around 15000 plus pages.
We are .net based solution - so i am thinking to write a crawler.. extract content on nightly basis and send it to Amazon. Would it be the right way?
ACS is based on Solr. If your site is under your control, i think the first step is extracting all useful content out and generate them into xml/json files, then use AWS CLI upload these documents to ACS. ACS has REST APIs to let you to get the query result. You need to define indexes before uploading them.
I have a simple HTML site with 100+ pages or so. I want to add a search bar at the top so the user can search the site. I know about Google Custom Search, but it shows ads unless you pay at least $100. Obviously I'd like ad-less search on my site for free if at all possible!
I've also heard about Lucene/Solr, but they do not actually crawl the site. For that I would apparently need Nutch.
Anyway, the site I have runs on a Microsoft IIS6 server, but I have basically no knowledge as to how Solr, Nutch, etc. gets "installed" on the server.
Also: I'd like to point out that I do have a local copy of the site. Perhaps I can do one big initial nutch "crawl" locally that will create an .xml for Solr?? That would help me get "up and running", but probably wouldn't be a good long-term solution.
..so should I just use Google Custom Search? or is there a not-extremely-painful-to-implement alternative? The brain hurts folks.
You did not mention how many search requests you want to handle but if you use the json-rest-api of google's custom search you have 100 searchqueries a day for free and you can display them without any ads on your page.
An simple example request can be found here.
Here is an easy way that works pretty well, although you may be looking for something more than this.

You can create code to paste into your site in about 2 minutes. It doesn't get easier than that. Search is powered by Google, but results are isolated to your website.
EDIT: This no longer works.
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.
