Yes, IIS comes with Microsoft Index Server, but it's really a pain to 
use and doesn't give very good results.

ht://Dig will work on CygWin (a Unix interface for Windows), but that 
is kindof a hack.

Check out my site, particularly 
<http://www.searchtools.com/tools/tools-win.html> for over 30 search 
engines that run on Windows.  Some are free, some are cheap, and most 
are better than Index Server.
