search engine

Post by WebD »

I am trying to make a tab search engine like tabrobot.com, and instead of just creating a spider and indexing thousands and thousands of tabs and eat up tons bandwidth, I want to do something like metacrawler.com where it queries every sites own search script and then just prints the results on its page. The only problem is I don't know how to query all the engines and then put the results on my page in my formatting. Can anyone help me out with this?

thanks alot!
