i am looking to build a small metasearch engine using php and hopefully mysql. I want to collect the results from a couple of websites and display the results on my website in a blended format (like surfwax.com).. not in a one-after-the-other format (like dogpile.com)

does anyone know of some sample code or application that could get me started in building this?

thanks in advance!

Do you mean a search that uses the metatag data of pages, or that groups together the results of several different "real" search engines?

Try looking here: http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_a ... Searching/. The web search section has some stuff that you may find especially helpful.
