Hello,

I wondered how to write a search engine that searches not a local database but the internet for a specific files. For example take a look to imeem.com, where you can search for music files, videos and etc. Is there any books on this topic or open software?

Thanks.

You might want to search for information of spiders, crawlers, indexers, etc. because typically search engines do not search directly, but gather information and organize it internally in a searchable form.
