Depends where your searchable data is stored. If it's in a database then all you need is something trivial to search that. If it's filesystem based it makes things a bit more complicated, but there is software out there (for free, not-so-free, and commercial) that will do it.

Web site is for my brother-in-laws company. Its got some words and pics, but a big part of it is a web shop build with Act. I guess he could have a search that queries the shop database or the free text, not both at the same time.

If all of the content you wish to search is static (i.e. mainly html pages) and you are running on the IIS platform (sometimes good/sometimes bad depending on who or what you believe in) you would be able to use Microsoft Index Server.
You can find out more about Index Server here:
