How many documents? What format are they in? Does this require just text searching or is there fielded data, too? How many users would search simultaneously? There are various search engine vendors, including Google itself. The leader is Verity. Autonomy is probably its top current competitor. But since you've posted here, are you considering MySQL? It doesn't have a particularly rich query language for text, and it's up to you to get them into the database in a usable form.
