Search Engine

Post icon  Posted 01 December 2008 - 02:00 PM

I was wondering, is there a way to make a search engine with PHP? I want to make a search engine that will have a list of websites, either in a db or a text file, and then search those sites. Is that possible?

Yes, it's possible. No, you're not likely to create one by yourself. Search engines like those run by Google, Yahoo, etc., have many terabytes of storage spread over multiple data centers, managed by many technicians and programmed by lots of programmers.

would it be so much trouble to have it search in a list of e.g 10 websites? I dont need all the stuff google does, all i want is to search that list for what the user types in the text field....

If its rly not possible to do, is there any way to implement google custom search in my website, but also displaying the results in it, instead of going to google's page?
