Although it¹s not PHP, Atomz has most of the features you¹re looking for.
I¹ve used it a couple of times and have been very happy with it (as happy as
one can be with a search engine, that is). It's a hosted (ASP-style)
service. Point it at your site, tell it how often to index, and then design
the results page. Pretty simple. There's plenty of administrative control
via a web interface, and it'll send a monthly report what it's been up to.
