Are there any good products out there ready to use out > of the box? The Stronghold product (commercial Apache + SSLeay with RSA crypto license; see www.c2.net) comes with "swish" and "wwwwais". Although it bugs me to pay for SW available on the net for free, at $1000 the thing practically installs itself, comes with a free SSL certificate from Thawte.com, and has the best docs I've seen on Apache and SSL. Depends on how much your time is worth. The admin GUI is kinda nice, too, but I'm an emacs-kind-of-guy... Now your question states "like InfoSeek". This implies a "robot" which goes to remote web sites and pulls their data. Swish, wwwwais, glimpse, and the other products mentioned here only do docs on the local system. Perhaps glimpse can be configged to pull remote docs, I haven't been interested in it since the Harvest Project died and glimpse became licensed tech. (like gated and MERIT radius, but that's another rant)-:
