i need a simple site search functionality for my mvc app. some of the pages are static and some dynamic (like news articles that are entered in cms). I would like the search to handle both. is this product any good? http://www.sitesearchasp.net any other?

@stephbu – Thank you for the mention.
If you choose to use arachnode.net, you have the choice of either Lucene.NET or SQL Full-text Indexing.
There are some ‘head-scratchers’ with Lucene.NET, especially when establishing concurrent read/write/search scenarios, but as a static reflection of content it works very well.
If you want something that is free, and turn-key, try Solr(.Net) or Microsoft Search Server.

Thanks!
