Does anyone know of any good scripts or services I could use for this? I have used Free Find before, which is good, but it would be nice to have something we could host ourselves (FreeFind links to their site for results...) without too many problems.

Thanks for any help.

I think this is what you are looking for. Someone here suggested it to me and it works really good.

ANyone know of any scripts that we could host ourselves? The people I'm working on this site with have had bad experiences with free services and want to stay away from them.

Search engine for your site? The best one I've come accross (and it's free) is XAV Search:

Atomz is terrific - don't let the fact that they offer a free service drive you away. There are no ads and you can customize the results pages to make it look like they never left your site! I use this on my site and it's been invaluable.

Other than that, I really don't have any experience with site searches. Browse HotScrips and the Resource Index.
