Indexing services will not crawl a site and index it, sorry.

It will index all these files, as static documents. That measn DOC.
PDF and HTML will index and show up fine, but PHP, if it does any
dynamic page layout, will not. The content can't be indexed because
it hasn't been created until requested by a browser.

You will wnat something else. Take a look at the options for putting
a Google search on your site. Free, simple and Google-fast.
