Heres a Freebie Search Engine I have added for this site. Its not the best one but its free and it does work. The only thing I don't like about it is if the keyword/s you are searching for is in one of the messages then all the replies, along with the original message, will show up in the search.

(This will only work for the members...sorry but its just the way MSN works)
Heres a few pointers to use when doing a search
- phrase search (this is the one I use most... also works great when using google for research)
The search engine supports three types of phrase search. - To match an exact phrase, use quotes around the phrase
Example: "free search engine"
- To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
Example: [free search engine]
- To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words }
Example: {free search engine}
- + and - qualifiers
If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
If you prepend a word with - that word is required to not be on the page.
Example: +always -never - * wildcard
If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
Example: gift* - ? wildcard
If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
Example: b?g - boolean search
You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)
All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*
