site search in ASP?

[dlacloche]

I'm doing a site in ASP and the client [at the last minute] wants to add a site search bar on every page. I've never done this before. Is there an quick easy way to add this functionality to the site?

It is fairly simple if all the content is stored in a database, if not then the next best option is to use the google search http://www.google.com/searchcode.html or any number of other free search tools

If the site is running on IIS, which seems highly likely given that you are coding in ASP, Indexing Service (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms689718.aspx) is probably your best option.

If this site is to be hosted, you will want to make sure the host supports/allows this.
