Have a look at (web)glimpse at http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/.
It may not be too easy to set up, but it has some nice features.

Thanks to all for the links.  Q:  these all seem to be compilable binaries
(programs) with attendant installation.  I have been looking at scripts,
mostly perl.  Is there some advantage, in my innocence I'm failing to see
it, in use of a full executable rather than, basically, runtime interpreted
code?  *(Speed?  capability? features?  Yatta-yatta?)  Thanks for some
commentia!         /ts   (It's late, I'm burned, usenet rulez)

Speed, mostly. All of the mentioned packages (that I know, which excludes PLS)
have an indexing engine that goes over the (possibly many) HTML, PDF, etc.
files, and stores its findings in an index, which the search engine then can
use to lookup search words.
