If you want to look for simple keywords and text, without recognizing 
any fields other than <title>, you could modify any of the free Perl 
scripts that create index files, such as Matt's Simple Search, Selena 
Sol's, Xavatoria, etc. (see listings on my site at 
<http://www.searchtools.com/tools/tools-perl.html>).  For larger 
sites, Ultraseek also recognizes XML: 
<http://software.infoseek.com/products/ultraseek/ultratop.htm>.

Best of luck,

Avi
