Pretty nice introduction on producing a site engine for a website. This is not a search engine, but a site engine along the lines of a CMS framework. The highlight of the article has to be the sketched out design on a napkin. Worth a read I think.

I’m going to explain how to build a site engine. A site engine is a core code base and database that can run multiple sites that are completely different while all running in unison, using all the same code, yet separate from each other.
