Didn’t know where else to put this…

What’s involved with creating a search bar that you can fling a key word in and it searches your website for it? I don’t want one of those Google site search things because they look tacky. I’ve also see [this](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/atomzsearch.htm) but am not a fan.

What type of programming is required to create a custom one for a website, and do you have to add in some sort of tagging system to your site so the search can pick it up? What is involved with it is basically what I would like to know.

Excuse my ignorance… I know close to nothing about it.

Thanks for your help.
