You can't write a search engine in JavaScript.

Which is probably why you can't find a decent one.

whats the easiest way to get a search engine on my website then?

Use Google.

<input type = "text" size = "40" style=" border-color:#000000;border-width:1px;"; id = "searchTerm">
<br><br>
<input type="button" value="Google Search" style="background-color:gold; font-weight:bold; width:180;height:30"; onclick="google()">
<br><br>

<script type = "text/javascript">
function google() {
var input = document.getElementById("searchTerm").value;
if (input.length > 2) {
var googleSearch = "http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=" + input;
document.location.href = googleSearch;
}
}
</script>

You might consider http://www.tesol.net/scripts/SillySearch/
It is a Perl/cgi script which I have found very useful with a little tweaking.
Naturally you must be able to execute cgi programs on your web server.

You can use google, but it only works if google has fully indexed your site.

You simply specify your site's domain name as part of the search criteria.

Use Philip's code from post #4 but just add as_sitesearch to the list of querystring arguments:

var googleSearch = 
    "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&as_sitesearch=www.yourdomainname.com&q=" + input;
