depends on how your website works. if it's on php/mysql, then you can make a script for searching the database (like most forums do).

If it's regular html, then the better option is have google do the search, but only in your site.

I haven't built one myself (yet), but here's a nice tutorial:

Here's a already made script, for searching content within the database, which only needs a few edits:

And here's another script for a full-text search:
