Can anyone give me recommendations for a mysql/php search application that I could somewhat easily implement in a site?
Thanks!

Can you be a little more specific? Like search for a field in a database? Search for specific keywords on a site?

(Sorry for the delay on this)
You can run a MySQL query using something like:
SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE the_field LIKE '%the_variable%''
Where 'the_variable' is what you're looking for, with the percent signs acting as wildcards, both before and after.
Or you can use a number of different search services... Nutch (http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/about.html) and Lucene (http://lucene.apache.org) both sit on top of Apache...
Or you can use something like Google Custom Search (http://www.google.com/coop/cse/)
... that's all I can think of right now. There are other things out there that exist between lying on top of the server, and a pure web-based application. Take a look around.

TEST the "MATCH" MySQL function. Is better than LIKe to perform a search
