Has anyone here used Google Site Search on your website? Can you share your experiences with me? Thanks.

Yes. A doddle to signup and install, and works fine once Google has found all the pages of the site.

And this will just search my site, right? And does it block access to certain folders?

It will allow you to search up to a preset number of sites ( the last I checked it was 3 sites). You can control which directories to include/exclude through the standard robots.txt in the root. Google will search your site or from the entire web depending on the radio button in the search table.

We just want a search engine for our site. Our webmaster suggested dtSearch but that's a little out of our price range. We want something to search PDFs, .asp, .html, .aspx etc. Right now what we have doesn't search PDFs and it just doesn't search well. Would you recommend Google Site Search or is there something else out there that is better? Thanks

We would recommend Google Site search for its ease of setting up and the price (free) for most small to medium sites.
Google can search almost all file formats too.
If you have a well appointed development team and you have a large site to search - then an in house solution would be best.

What would classify as an in-house solution?

Something (probably written in Perl - amongst other suitable languages) which will search and index a set of sites. The same customized in-house search engine will need to have its own weighting factor so that the pages returned for a given search phrase returns pages in the order as designated.
One of the advantages of having your own in-site search solution is better control over the results page.
