Search application/engine?

Just wondering if anyone has used an easy to configue and install site search application, or managed service, which is capable of indexing a standard hard coded HTML website (would be cool if it could also handle PDFs)

Whats the host O/S?

If its a *nix machine try htdig, I find it works quite well.

Google indexes PDFs and also offers a site search.

If it is less than 50-100 pages including PDFs, it may not be worth the hassle. I think that htdig is part of either the Gnome or KDE documentation installation on Linux. However It really does depend on the scale of the site that you want to index.
