Internal search engine

Question

I have a client that wants to add a search engine to a retail
showroom. I'd like it function similar to JCPenney or LandsEnd
where you can type a style of product or exact product number. A
product type search would result in a page of pictures that match
the criteria. I've had suggestions like CoffeeCup which appear to
be only Windows compatible. I don't mind purchasing some software
to do this but really not interested in paying a service to do it
for me on a monthly basis. Is there anything out there compatible
for Mac or is there another way within Dreamweaver CS3?

Building a search facility that requires JavaScript could be
a mistake - and
one that could expose a retail client to ADA (or similar)
claims.
