I thought "hey, I'll integrate a documentation search into my website documentation"

https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx/wiki/index.md[^]

So I created an account with Algolia and spent more than an hour on it only to determine that their deprecated web crawler that they won't let me use would work fine (if they let me at its results) but the one in production won't follow links.

How do you make a paying service with a web crawler that doesn't follow links? Seems like an important feature for a crawler, no? Like, only the whole reason for its existence in the first place.

It gets my goat from a professional standpoint when people release things like this and then charge money for them.

I asked them to delete my account. Instead they want me to troubleshoot this with them. I told them to pay me.

We'll see how that goes.

Exactly. Their logs should contain all the troubleshooting data they need.

True but also probably the hardest feature to implement. For example what if the link requires a user login. Or if it requires a selection from the original page. And of course one must eliminate recursive cycles also.

I usually handle the recursion with a HashTable of crawled URLS.

Yes I know how to handle it. And other problems associated with following links.

Sure, but get it right if that's what your product does.

And handling recursion is pretty easy on a modern system with a hash table.

In the case of my site, it's nothing fancy. There's a bit of potential recursion is all due to back linking.

I worked on such a product. And getting it right was difficult.

But it did do links.

Not the point. The point is that following links requires quite a bit of work.

Yes but you said "get it right" so that means they must handle all of the problems not just yours.

What are you using to render your files?
On CodeProject, I use Lucene.Net to index and search our content.
I've used Lucene.Net 2, 3, and 4 for various projects and I'm not sure which I like best due to the differences in APIs.
There are versions ported to several languages from the original Java.

Using Stemming Analyzer, you can index by word roots so that 'run', 'runs', 'running', 'ran' all index to the same thing.

I created a custom tokenizer to handle technical documents geared towards programming to weed out some fluff.

It is blinding fast, and looking at the code can be addictive as the algorithms used are quite interesting.

If you are using a 'standard' CMS such as WordPress, Orchard, or most others, they usually have a Search Plugin which is usually based on Lucene.
