Ok, I attempted at making my own search function which doesnt work very well.

It consists of eliminating useless words such as "how" "you" "to" then using a premade Stemmer class that reduces words to their root so "Appointments" searches "appoint"

However in the end I'm really only searching keywords and the results are not very accurate.

Are there open source search engines that i can implement for free?
