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 Quote Link to comment 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. Berry & Murray Browne) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
