I have recently started working on C#. I need to deploy a search engine for a section of my website. Can anyone please suggest an easy of making and deploying it?

Will it basically be searching through a database, or are you going to parse files?

I'm running the Google API in .NET and it searches my site better than I could. Go figure :)
I would create a C# class that you can instantiate to do the search for you. You could always pass the search string in your constructor. You could also bring back the results in a datagrid populated from a dataset created by the object.

depending what kind of fields you are searching and how big your database is, it might be good to check out SQL Full Text indexes as well.
