I am currently finishing up my first ASP.NET MVC application and would like to implement site searching. What are some options for allowing a visitor to search the site?

Answers to the following questions may help...
- Is most/all content public, or login-protected? (i.e. can Google index it?) Or, would a "search appliance" be an alternative (though $$)?
- If you want to use full-text search, how many different tables/columns need to be searched? What would your queries look like, if using LINQ? :)
- Are common search terms represented in the page URLs? If doing custom searching, can you also search these, possibly with higher weight than in-page content?

You could use Microsoft Search Server 2008 Express. Its free and works of intranet apps.
