search application recommendation?

So... what's a drop dead simple search application?
My sis' computer is coming in for a re-do & I'd like to stick a search app on it that's as easy for a newbie to use as the one that used to be found in the start menu.

I can't vouch for this, but a search brought this up as a likely contender.

MetaTracker

Also you might find some help in the article I was reading, at
