Depends on what you mean by PDF search.
Personally, I really like "Preview" provided with Mac OS X. I've
liked it so much, I've printed Microsoft Word files to PDF so I
can use "Preview" just for its search features.

I agree that Preview is great but, I have a folder with hundreds of
pdfs that I would like to search.
Other ideas?

Adobe.
OR, upload it to the web, wait five days, and use Google.

Change is inevitable.
Liberals need to learn that "inevitable" is not a synonym for "good."
Conservatives should learn that "inevitable" is not a synonym for "bad."

Looks like I wasn't understood previously...
See there : http://www.ironicsoftware.com/
the software I mention is called... yep! and specializes in indexing
and quick accessing pdfs...
It was part of the last mupromo bundle offer. >> Stay informed about: I need a good pdf search |

Spotlight provides a web interface to search pdfs (http://
www.newslink.com/.spotlight) but it stinks and rarely offers the
results I need. It also does not allow for sorting by date results.
Google is fine, but I cannot make these pdfs public.
Someone suggested a program called "Yep!" It is perfect, but does not
work through a web interface or over a local network. I asked their
programmers but they are about two versions away from that kind of
improvement.
Is there something out there that works like "Yep" or "Papers" that
includes network or web interface capabilities? >> Stay informed about: I need a good pdf search |

You know, had you explained what you wanted instead of just 'pdf search'
we'd have got here a lot sooner. You want to be able to search the PDFs
using a web interface, and you want to be able to sort the results by the
date (of the PDF ?). You also want to be able to continually add new PDFs
to the list: making one index and searching that isn't enough. What you
want is an abstracter, or a concordance machine. I don't know of any
which are web-facing.
You can implement your own version of the Spotlight search page which adds
a sort-by-date function. You'll have to learn more about how Spotlight
works and how to program in PHP. Otherwise I think you'll have to hire a
programmer.
Simon.
