Hi guys, please be gentle with me as I am a newbie to Rapid Weaver  
I am trying to construct a web site that will effectively be a knowledge base of information on a technical subject. I envisage the front end being just access to a search engine that will then search the contents of the knowledge base stored under various section headings.  
What I M looking for is a search engine that will restrict itself to the contents of my web site but will have the flexibility of either searching the whole site or just a particular section.  
Any advice on what

Having looked again at Rapidsearch I dont think it will work as I will not be publishing the knowledge base as a www website but only exporting the pages to a shared google drive folder.  
Also I dont have a clue how to set up an sql database.  
I think what I am possibly looking for is an intranet search facility, is there anything simple that a dummy like me can set up  
Thanks
