I’m currently using Google Custom Search for our site search, but I’m  
not entirely happy that it doesn’t always find pages on our site that  
can be found using [Google.com](http://Google.com). Perhaps I’m hitting a page limit wall.

Just wondering what you guys are using for search on your sites. I’d  
really like to find something that’s open source and plays well with  
nginx and php.

Any ideas?
