An open-source application called Sphinx. If you look on the About this Site page, there’s a link to the developer. This is a very sophisticated piece of software, it has to be installed on the server and a separate cron job runs an sidecar application to update the index. Basically, it runs a massive SQL query against the database and indexes the results.
