First, keep in mind that this is perfectly possible, but it is not easy to implement.
You seem to be aware that you’ll need two distinct approaches: one for dynamic content, the other for static.
For DB Search: Enable full-text search on the DB side (I’m supposing you’re working with SQL Server, you didn’t say which DBMS you’re developing with) for each “searchable” table in your DB. Create a rule that generates the right link for each table.
For static pages search: I’ve used Lucene.NET for that same reason, and had a good experience with it. Also, after finding the right .html file you will need a rule for generating the right link.
Edit You may also use some integrated library for that, like SiteSearchASP.NET. Much easier to implement (but you’ll have to pay for it).
