The Verity engine that is built into CF will perform the task that you're
describing above. A few other folks have described how to do this.
However, you may be saying, "I want to provide my visitors with another
search engine for the WWW" instead of "I want my visitors to be able to
search my site for something specific."
If this is true, there are a few options you can use. It depends on how you
want the list of sites searched to be formed. The answer can be as simple
as signing up for an affiliate program with one of the "big" search engines
(many offer this for free) or as difficult as you want to make it.
The basic concept of Verity is that you build a collection of "things".
"Things" can be pages on your server or entries in a database, it's up to
you. You can then search the collection.
If you're just wanting to make a list of links that you manually key in (say
you want to make a search engine that only has the pages that you put in
your database), then you can use Verity or (if you're using SQL Server) Full
Text Searching. If, however, you want something that's going to grab web
pages from around the Internet and add them to a database automagically,
then CF is not going to be your complete answer.
