Tim, you might try "Adding a Search Form to Your Web Site" at:

http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/languages/fp/dev/search.asp

It's specific to Microsoft's Front Page site building and their server
products but maybe it will point you in the direction you need to go.

Another good site to check out would be Dave Winer's Frontier 5
web scripting product at: http://www.userland.com/

There are many more site building tools available.

Of course you could always start learning CGI and Perl.
