I use HTML::Mason to generate our Intranet pages, and htdig 3.1.6 is
used for search. I'm not using any patches to htdig, though. Instead, I
have a Mason component that acts as the search form and simply calls
htdig via the command-line. I've got htdig configured to return results
formatted as XML (using a custom template), so the Mason component just
parses the XML and displays the results in a custom way.

Nothing here is really specific to HTML::Mason or Perl; you could do the
same thing in PHP or pretty much any other environment.
