How to put search bar on site

Can someone tell me how to put a search bar in my site….where they type in a word – click on a “search” button and various links to pages in the site will show up. Does this require very extensive work? A database?

Any advice would be great.

@PeOfEoJun 30.2004 — A data base and a server side script would probably be neccessary if you did this yourself, or alteast a server side script that could parse through the html files of your directory and look for the word. An easier thing would be to use a google site search or something.

@buntineJun 30.2004 — Agreed. A site search application would require a professional programmer. Go with a Google site search.

Regards.
