php isn't the only scripting language that can provide site
search functionality to your site. check with your host and
find out what scripting languages are supported (e.g. php,
coldfusion, asp(vbscript), .net, jsp, perl, python, ruby,
lasso, ihtml,... etc.) once you know which ones are
supported you can look for a free or inexpensive script to
install and use

also, a really easy way is to use the google search box with
site search (it is just cut and paste bit of code)

http://services.google.com/searchcode2.html#both

also check out the info at
http://www.google.com/services/siteflavored.html

or there are a number of free services to pick from, like

http://www.freefind.com or crawl-it at
http://www.crawl-it.de/cgi-
bin/crawlit/registration/startup.showWhatIsF
or bravenet has one
http://www.bravenet.com/webtools/search2/index.php

just google for it and look over the options
