How do I have a search function on my website?

I'm currently creating a website and I'm trying to have a "Search Function"
in the website where user will be able to search anything on the website, by
keying in certain keywords. In another words, having a search engine on my
website. I've tried using form function in publishing but I'm still not
getting it right.

Site search is a server side function. Publisher has no support for server
side functionality. (Publisher has limited form submission controls available
but that support comes from FrontPage Server Extensions)
Search is a web programming job, not web design. Typically search is
achieved through querying a site's content database (examples: www.barvin.com
, www.publishermvps.com)
There are third party search providers that provide code add-ins to search
your site. Google offers a site search, also I believe bravenet.com has one.
For MSN site search visit
