RuterSearch was a project I started in 1999 after being disappointed with a search Perl script I purchased. I bought Perl for Dummies and began to learn Perl myself to implement my own search script. It was a great learning experience, and a pretty nice lightweight search script was the result; I sold it on Qwerks for awhile at $25 per license. Eventually, I discontinued development on RuterSearch; however, the original source code and documentation are still available here for historical purposes. I have released the code under the GPL license (if stated differently anywhere else, please disregard).

Is it as fast as Google?
Ha ha. It is in fact… not.
Is this a web crawl for the surname “Ruter” or just a search engine in general?? Any more development on it as of late or it a dead project?
Heh. It was just a lightweight general-purpose search engine. Probably not safe to search more than 1,000 items. And no development has happened on this in over ten(!) years. It was a fun learning experience, though.
