Many search engines have a "submit URL" link where you can add your link to their database. It will usually go into an "interrogation" mode where they will check it's online status at random time for a few weeks to make sure it's a steady link, but afterwards it will be added to the live database. Here's a link describing how to do it on Yahoo!:

There are programs that submit your site to a whole bunch of search engines at once. Try one of those.
