For beginners to expert webmasters KSearch is the easiest website search engine to integrate, implement and use. KSearch is fully customizable - you can add or remove any features you want, without permission. KSearch is Open Source Software. KSearch doesn't display forced advertisements (unless you want them there - we don't recommended you do this). KSearch doesn't have to rely or depend upon on "other" search engines to display your website content. There are NO PAGE LIMITS or inherent Page restrictions with KSearch - you can allow KSearch to index 1 page, or one billion pages. You can have more than one KSearch engine on your website. KSearch doesn't require a MySQL database - it utilizes either a flat-file database (included) or a DBM database (inherent in Perl). And best of all ... KSearch is a FREE website search engine.

Getting Started
Download a copy of KSearch. Save it to Desktop and extract it. The next most important thing is to read both the README and FAQs file(s) (included with your download). After finishing with both of these, then go back to the README.txt file and begin by following the instructions. It's important to take your time and complete each step as outlined. Don't skip a single one. The most difficult thing you're going to tackle is the CONFIGURATION.pl file. Take your time ... you can do it. The average time to get your KSearch Website Search Engine up and running is about 45 minutes (which includes all the reading). If for some reason you happen to get stuck, or need clarity on something, visit our Forum. We'll do our best to help.
