Actually I'm doing the research on behalf of the more technical person who helps with the website. It's run on ASP. He seems reluctant to build a search engine himself (and on other sites he has designed he has always used 3rd party engines - probably to save him time)

I am assuming the site is running on IIS on a Windows server since it using ASP, if this is not correct you can disregard the following. Yea, I know you can run ASP on Linux, but why would you?
Ah, you're still reading so it must be IIS/Windows. Have a look at MS Index Server. I am using that on a few IIS sites for a site search engine and it works quite well. If the .Net framework is available on the server ASP.Net is even easier to setup, even with more options.
Basically you configre the Index Server to index the web site then using ASP or ASP.Net you build a page that querys the index (very similar to querying SQL Server.)

i'm pretty sure you can take out google's logo. I did. (unless I missed something in the privacy agreement).
you can see it in action here
Just search for anything (try my name - Dustin).
HOWEVER, I would advise only using this if your site has been indexed very grossly by google. Since google has indexed up to 5,000 pages of my site (now at 3,700), I figured it would be ok to start using it.
Can anyone recommend any good, free, site search engines? Ideally ones with just a small logo which preferably isn't displayed around the search box (like google's).
I used to use atomz but they recently put advertising on their free service which does not look good on a professional website.
