We don't tend to run a 'find-me-a-script-service', however since I was doing something like this recently, for a simple page search (no indexing) with a bit of editing (to bring it up to PHP 4.1.x standard) DGS Search is a good base to start from. O'Reilly have also done a tutorial for creating an indexing search engine.

If you really need an out-of-the-box solution then there's 48 PHP search engines listed at hotscripts.com but your choices may be limited by which operating system you run - some are free for *nix but not for Windows users.

Thanks for the links. I don't need a search engine to search my site. Sorry I wasn't more specific. I'm working on a video game database and I need a script that will search my MYSQL database output links to the specified game entries.

Find a database tutorial (check out http://www.phpcomplete.com), searching a database is really easy, you don't need someone else's script to do this.

I don't know how much you can do with MySQL and PHP - are you comfortable selecting stuff from a database and displaying it on a page?

I have a search engine script, but it does not meta search, it is made for mass submission to a database, if your interested give me a holla.
