Summary

Yet another LAN indexing solution. Indexes SMB and FTP hosts. Has web interface. Written in Java. GPL.

Leveraging Lucene's scoring system, the PUNKSearch returns results (to the end user) sorted by relevance like all modern web search engines do. Also it exploits a set of heuristics for efficient indexing of really big local networks. The web interface reports the online/offline status of hosts, groups results by size and extension and does some other cool things.

• The Lucene indexing library is used to store crawled data and search over it then;
• The jCIFS Client Library is used to crawl SMB hosts;
• The commons-net library is used to crawl FTP hosts (edtFTPj was used in versions < 0.9.0).

Please, take a look at QuickStart guide and/or ExpertSetupGuide to start using the PUNKSearch.
