Yes, a FarCry site can have a search.
There’s a sample search implementation in the Fandango perfect skeleton which does basic SQL “like” matching for HTML pages, just on component and a few webskins (dmSimpleSearch).
If you want something more advanced then the FarCry SOLR Pro plugin might be suitable, it requires running SOLR on your server(s) (there are installation instructions).
There are also other options… We have an Amazon CloudSearch plugin and an Azure Search;
And if your site is publicly visible to the internet, you can let Google crawl your site and implement Google Custom Search.
So really the answer is, yes you can use an existing plugin or you can build something to suit your needs. If you need more assistance please let us know
