title: Very basic usage of sitecore search
body: <p>I am trying to setup a very basic search index, to index all items in a specific folder. I haven't really used much searching, but I'm trying to use out-of-the-box features, because its a very simple search. I just want to index all the fields. The sitecore documentation really doesn't provide much information - I've read a few blogs, and they all seem to suggest that I need the advanced database crawler (<a href="http://trac.sitecore.net/AdvancedDatabaseCrawler" rel="noreferrer">http://trac.sitecore.net/AdvancedDatabaseCrawler</a>) - basically, something to the effect of 'it won't work without a custom crawler). </p>
  
  <p>Is this right? I just want to create a simple index, and then start using it. What is the simplest way to do this, without any shared modules or otherwise? I went through the documentation on sitecore, but its not very clear (at least to me). It defines different elements of the index configuration in web.config, but doesn't really explain what they do, and what values are available. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place..</p>
