Is is possible to incorporate databases into a site created in Pub 2003?

Why not? Could you not use Publisher created pages for a framework
and link to some database type pages?

That makes sense to me. ALso, I noticed a search function on that logwell page. How is that done

That is done with a free program called htdig. It was developed in a
university setting and is public domain. There is a link to their
website on the full search page if you want to check it out.
http://www.htdig.org/

The actual search feature is inserted as a html fragment into the
Publisher generated web pages.

Database programming is driven via a web server language like ASP.NET. Such
language is not supported in an .html page but rather as in the case of
ASP.NET, an .aspx page. See my site www.barvin.com which is a database site.
You can use FrontPage to code aspx pages and write ADO.NET code to access
databases, but not Publisher it's not designed for that complexity.
Now you can create pages such as aspx pages in something else and link them
to Publisher made pages, if that's what you're asking. For example the page
www.davidbartosik.com/giveaway.aspx is a ASP.NET page (note the extension
..aspx) but the rest of the site is a FrontPage site, note the .htm
extensions.
