Is it possible to use Microsoft 2013 sharepoint search server as my search engine for my site

[Noshairwankhan]

My site/ < Link removed by VM > is not written for sharepoint.
It runs on IIS(aspmvc) interacts over http request/response and fetches db data.

1. 
   Does it make sense to install and use Microsoft 2013 sharepoint search for the db indexing and free text querying (ms sql) ?
   (I know I can use MS Full Text Search but the features and performance are too poor)
   (I know I can use Solr/Lucene. It is a great solution indeed. I just wonder if I can do it in MS technologies)
   
   
2. 
   Can I install it not as a part of Sharepoint? as a standalone indexer?
   How? will it require sharepoint foundation search?
   
   
3. 
   Should I install Microsoft Search Server 2010 instead for this feature? Is it as good as 2013 sharepoint search?
   

Thanks.
