Designing a search engine

Right now I have a task for a client regarding creating a site search. The keywords comes from PDF-files and these are added into the database.

I have sketched this idea for a search-engine:
I will create a database-table consisting of the keywords that comes from the PDF. These will be mapped up against the ID of the main “article”.
The searches will be made against the keyword-database and I’ll show the results from the mapped articles (of course)

If you have suggestions, please do comment, or direct me to a good tutorial-site.

I have also found a solution called DBSight that seems very good. Not sure if I will implement it in the solution I am building now though.
