I'm not aware of any search engine binaries for the 3K.

Some search engines must run on the same machine as the web server because they
directly open the web page files.  Other search engines use the HTTP protocol
to read the web pages, so these engines can run on any compatible machine in
your network.

ht://Dig is a free Unix-based search engine that you must compile yourself
from C/C++ source code.  See http://htdig.sdsu.edu for details.  Since it
uses HTTP to read the web pages to be indexed, you could install it on a Unix
machine and have it read your Apache/iX pages remotely.  Or you could join
the MPE POSIX Porters Club and attempt a port so it will run on a 3K.  ;-)

I haven't downloaded or built ht://Dig.  So far it's just one entry way down
on my *really* long To-Do list.  There are probably other free search engines
that you could download.
