How do I use a search engine for my Intranet application.
I am creating an intranet application using asp.net which has all the data(content of a doc) in sql server database.
The search has to bring up all results(hyperlinks of documents) and when we click on result(which is a hyperlink for a document) it has to bring up the doc by populating it from database(because the site has list of docs whose content is kept in database.
I have no idea how the search works, whether I have to include a search engine for my
application or I have to create one.

If you are just searching for link in your database, why do you need a search engine? Just query the database...

If I search for keyword, it has to search the database because the text of the doc is in database and the doc is populating(its not a static doc)from DB when we are trying to view.
I have no Idea how do I do this?

I just told you, query the database.

I did not understand

What did you not understand? Like you have been told repost after repost after repost, query the database for whatever it is that you are searching for. Do you know what a database is? Do you know how to connect to a database? Do you know how to run a query? Do you know how to write a query? What exactly is the problem here?

His docs are probably some blobs in the database and making a full text search might not be trivial at all. The approach posted by aspnet_regiis might lead into the right direction.

I have just some doubts that the problem will be the right scale for someone who is not yet able to put his finger on the core of the problem.

We do not know for sure. From his 6 repostings of the same question it seems that he is just storing urls in the database and wants to search them. But he cannot give a straight answer to what it is that he really wants to do.
