Actually to be honest, I haven't and haven't had to do one for awhile. However I will be looking at something similar in the next few weeks for my own personal blog.
I think it depends on your requirements, and whether you are doing an internal search or both internal and external. It sounds like to me that you are looking for, an advanced search as well as a basic search. Would that be close to the mark? And whether you provide DHTML to achieve the results as well, so many unknowns:-) As for clients, well I agree with what you state. If only life (our work) could be done easier, but it always the same one person doesn't like it and it gets the company thinking, then it boils down to what gets done about it. But the amount of times I could have strangled a client.... Well lets not go there. Now, as I said I will be looking for something basic in the next few weeks. So I will keep an eye out for you as well, and pass what I find on to you. I know Ray Camden's (coldfusionjedi.com) BlogCFC displays within his site very well. But the downside is that it is a very basic search site search. Question: Is the search limited to the internal application? -- Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

And it's because Google has such clean lines that the bar has well and truly been raised as far as user expectation. But Google isn't perfect for all situations (hence learning to open result in new tab as part of my personal workflow). two points: the client can be completely useless when it comes to explaining what they want, but they can be damn good at telling you what you're providing isn't it. There's a lot to be said for benevolent dictatorships. if a design is signed off by two levels of management then if people aren't happy they can take it up with *their* management and meanwhile I can get on with fleshing out the next module. so the trick is finding a design currently in use that can be pointed at as a potential solution ("hey, it works for them, I reckon it'll work for us"). Sometimes seeing it in action provides legitimacy to those two important levels of management.
