RaythMistwalker Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 i dunno about howto make them but i know for getting new site information you need a crawl bot or somethin like a spider. If you get logs of who has been on your website you'll notice somethin like crawl-##-##-##-##.googlebot.com b3091325.crawl.yahoo.net This is that website getting your information.

mikesta707 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 A lot of Google's web crawler is written in Python I think. Making a search engine CAN be made in just php/mysql (I think) You will need to create a web crawler, and have it crawl websites. You then need to store the information on your server, and create a good searching algorithm to return results. Just knowing PHP/MySQL may not be sufficient though I suggest you check out this tutorial and try to implement a search feature into your own website before trying to make a search engine. its not easy Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/188097-how-to-make-a-search-engine-like-google/#findComment-993024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 If you really want to create a search engine than you should check out "Understanding Search Engines: Mathematical Modeling and Text Retrieval" (Michael W.
