What kind of server you are using?
Page content is static or dinamic?
We'll need to know something about how the information is organized, as well.

This is a intranet site and it is running on a widnows 2000 server with asp for the back end.

Page content is both depending on the function could be static or dynamic.

I wanted something that I could include in the intranet home page that lets them search our site as well as others for applicable content like specific products or businesses.

thanks,

Don

I don't work with M$ backends, so about the best I can give you is some search results from MSDN:

Hi don,

Take a look at this site from Google.  We looked at using this solution from them for a large web project, but ended up building the client a custom routine.  If you are not doing anything really complicated this is a good option.  If you need to adapt it this can give you some good tips.  Let me know if it helps.

How large is your website ( document count )?
If it is not too large ( like millions of pages ) take a look at  Fluid Dynamics Search Engine, it has a freeware solution ( http://www.xav.com/scripts/search/ )
