What are some options for implementing search in an ASP.NET MVC website?

I am currently finishing my first ASP.NET MVC application and would like to implement site search. What are some options that allow a visitor to search for a site?

Answers to the following questions may help ...



  • Is most / all content publicly available or password protected? (ie can google index it?) Or maybe a "search engine" would be an alternative (albeit a $$)?
  • If you want to use full text search, how many different tables / columns should you search for? What do your queries look like when using LINQ? :)
  • Are common search terms featured on URL pages? If you're doing a custom search, can you also search for them, possibly with a higher weight than the content on the page?

You can use Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express . It's free and works with intranet apps.
