I use a popular free PERL script.  Go to my site at
http://djust.hypermart.net/ , scroll down to "Search my site", type
in some reasonable keywords, and see if it does what you want.
When you get your results, you'll also have a link to download
the script.
I don't know much about it, but I somehow managed to configure
my copy, so I'll help if I can.
I've read that many of the big search engines will also supply
something similar for free, though what they actually search is
your site, not a database.

Thank you.
