If "simple" is the key, try Excite at www.excite.com or any of the other
commercial web searchers. I believe excite will let you set up a search of
ONLY YOUR SITE using a customized Excite button. What do they get out of
the deal? Free advertising, but only the size of the search button, if you
can stomach that. Others (Yahoo, Alta Vista, WebCrawler, etc.) may have
similar programs.
Good luck.
