I have heard of a software called Search Engine Builder Professional available for a trial period. May be that wud help you.

What it does is, based on certain algorithms, it tries to develop a index with keywords and appropriate pages for those keywords.
Try it out...much of it is javascript code that runs into many files (If I am recollecting it properly :-? )
Not sure if those programs are really even worth it, since technically, if you wanted to build your own search engine with php and your page was fully dynamic (ie all text content comes from the database), all you'd have to do is have a select statment something like this:

SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE my_content LIKE '%My KeyWord%' OR my_content LIKE '%some otherkeyword%';

you could have as many OR statments as you wanted. Ofcourse it would depend on how you had your db setup. You have to have the page name or something to identify what page the content is coming from so you could provide links in a search result page.

The best part about the first code that i posted, is that it's pure html. clean and simple and you get the power of google.
