The search program ht://Dig (which has an admittedly odd name) comes with the
GNU general public license. Its home page is:
http://htdig.sdsu.edu/
Also, there's been a Javascript on comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
that uses the Altavista search engine to search only your own site.
(Seems like exploiting rather than excluding robots.)
