I think that I must have explained my needs rather poorly. Although one
person did get my drift - thank you, again.

What I was looking for was a method by which visitors to a web site of mine
can search for a particular subject/word, etc.

Google do provide one of these for free, but when visitors use it they have
to see ads from Google as well. Costs loads to get an ad free Google
searcher, so I was asking if anyone knew of a ad-free cheap or free system.

Hope that explains it a little more clearly.
