Site search needed for internal intranet (not online)

    I am creating my company's internal intranet and it needs a search box (to search for all pages, plus all docs such as pdfs etc). For my company's website I used Google search but I cant do that this time because the intranet is not online. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can create a site search for the intranet? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place - newbie here.
    Many thanks

    If the intranet is based on one system, you could write an app that would tap directly to the db. If not, you ned to write a crawler that will fetch all pages, store it into the db and the search script itself. Lots of work.
