We have been using FindinSite-MS on the www.rliland.com website for
the past several months, and are pleased with its operation. It was
relatively easy to customize the search results page and the indexing
options we were interested in changing, and it has worked reliably since
we deployed it. Thanks for a great product!
From: Rob Ingram, Fuse Digital Ltd, UK.

If it helps we're very impressed with the product and will almost certainly be using it
for more projects in the future. :)

Hey, late yesterday afternoon I tied everything down and my tests were good, I showed the boss.
It's not often (okay, never really) that he gives out a compliment.
I think I (well we really) wowed him.

I just love this tool. It is much better than we first expected. The multiple indexes is particularly nice.

We've been using the FindInSite search engine flawlessly for about 6 weeks. We do use the current release that you'd done after making the modifications for us to use all of the features of the webservice and so far nobody's reported a problem, fingers crossed!
From: Anderson, Norway.

Thank you so much for helping me and my company, the solution is really functioning this time. Once again thanks for all support, I am a very satisfied customer at the moment.
From: Mark Braun, Germany.

Perfect! This is what I call 'service'!
In this afternoon our customer will decide if he will use your search engine for his embeded website search. But he can't say no after I have told him how smooth and fast it is!

I've been looking for a good .net site search tool for a while.
I've been using the Google Site Search thing, but it puts competitors ads on the search results page.
findinsite-ms fit the bill perfectly.
It was easy to install and get running and it adds a very professional site search to my website that will undoubtedly give my visitors a good impression of my site.
You're doing a great job and keep it up ...
I've looked and looked for something I like and have not found anything until findinsite-ms.
From: Michael Irene.

Okay, so after trying a couple of other local search products with
limited success, I decided to give findinsite-ms a whirl. It just
impressed the hell out of me.
From: Mike Chatha, webmastermedia.net, UK.
Date: 26 Jan 2005
findinsite-ms is really impressive and
does everything we need... it's great that we can build it right into our apps.
Press coverage
FindinSite-MS delivers a powerful search engine that you can customize to meet your specific needs.
What FindinSite-MS does is take the functionality provided by a free search and makes it better.
Pros
- Customizable search engine for your website of intranet
- Good language support
- Can be used on an intranet, behind the firewall
Cons - None that I could think of
Visual Systems Journal (VSJ), April 2005
You don't have to Google
Adding a custom search facility to an ASP.NET web site is usually regarded as tedious,
and is often more difficult than you imagine. This can result in designers relying
on out-of-site search engines, which also tend to be out of their control.
PHDCC has an alternative in findinsite-ms...
