The search feature into mojoportal is based in the Lucene.Net engine, so you have code for indexing and code for manage the search, and the results.

The code for indexing is find under mojoportal\mojoPortal.Business.WebHelpers\Search\

The code for the search control can be found under mojoportal\Web\Controls\SearchInput.ascx

The code for the result page can be found under  mojoportal\Web\SearchResults.aspx

You also have to handlers one for the search results under mojoportal\Web\SearchResults.ashx.cs and one for describing the search engine \Web\SearchEngineInfo.ashx.cs
