Satellite2

Administrator has been extended to administrate Satellite over the Web. This release has support for local and HTTP indexing (spidering of other sites), support for result page templates, a simple template editor, and the ability to build an unlimited number of indexes and configurations, which allows you to use several search engines with 1 Satellite installation. It supports Google-like search queries (xxx AND yyy OR zzz). Results can be displayed in a 'normal' way as well as per directory. Full robots.txt support has been added. Online help is available.

The results ranking problem in beta5 has been fixed.

The search algorithm was completely rewritten, so
that it now supports "google-like" search queries
like, "aaa OR bbb AND ccc -ddd". Nested queries
(such as "aaa OR (bbb AND ccc)") are not
supported. Phrase-search is also not supported,
but is planned for Satellite 2.1. The new
algorithm has been tested, but not thoroughly.
Code cleanup was done in search.pl. A few minor
interface fixes were made in admin.pl.

The OR search algorithm, which tended to list the same hits more than once on the result pages, has been partially rewritten. The AND search algorithm has also been partially rewritten. resultpage of and on no longer displays a bogus first entry.
