Recommendations for site search engines

[brassneck]

I have been experimenting with setting up a search facility for my website - [mod]Sorry but you cannot promote your own site as a Gold Member[/mod] . I have tried to customise the Google seach tool but it's far too big for what I want to do - see bottom of my homepage. Can anybody recomment a search tool which is easy and flexible to customise to fit into a particular space, such as a website column? I've also tried freefind which is ok, but now my site has grown so much the paid for version that I need doesn't seem good value. I don't mind paying for the right service.

Thanks, Stephen.

This is what I use. It's free, simple, and completely customizable w/o ads.
