php ajax search engine with thumbnails using various apis

Post by inet411 »

Hello I started creating search engine then realized it is a daunting task.
So I'm going to go ahead and make it open source (since many of the apis and techniques used are open source anyway).
If anyone is interested in working on this project with me please let me know.

Details:
currently only 5 files. .htaccess,index, a class file, a thumbnail file and a more details file.
uses apis for webmaster statistics, search results and thumbnails.
Thumbnails in search results.
Mouseover thumbnails for alexa rank and 'view more stats'.
view more stats gives you a bunch of webmaster stats - pagerank, alexa rank, technorati, blog worth etc...
Search engine friendly urls. ie /cars or /php etc...
ajax used extensively results are displayed and images are displayed via ajax so the page loads instantly since it is only text and the ajax inserts all the images.

Todo:
1.make the results completely ajaxified, no page refresh.
2.Ajax auto-suggest to the search bar.
(If you look at my site you'll see I've already made these scripts just haven't implemented into the search engine)
3. Whatever you suggest.

pm me if interested, we'll go through the code and I'll give you a quick overview.

here's a link to a quick mockup of the search engine (remember its a demo and hardly any time has been put into it so far)
