I'm currently using ColdFusion to run all of my site functionality.  It's
SPECTACULAR and easy to do a search with.  Of course, you have to have the
server.

If you're not prepared to make the investment, I've also long used a cgi
script that is easy to configure and install, and is very fast because it
uses an index to search from.  You can download Xavatoria from
http://bignosebird.com/carchive/search2.shtml for free!

Hope that helps!
