Would someone please point me in the direction of how to create a search engine where people would be able to carry out searches like using google.com etc?
Thank you.

Creating a search engine
Moderator: General Moderators
The simplest search engine-type functionality I've seen is using MySQL's FULL TEXT index: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/fulltext-search.html
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
How do I go about creating a search engine just like google, and dont tell me what I can and cant do, all I want to know is how they do it, and what I have to do to perform the same function.
Its just not google, its every other search engine out there as well. I would like to know how they are programmed, so I can create my own, for people to submit there websites too and go from there.
And the link above is full of errors, with people complaining about the code etc. I am not interested in sites like that, thank you.

Essentially, your going to have a very big database of links, keywords, and relevancy rankings. You're going to have to develop an algorithm to determine the importance of all these links, and be able to do it all in a very quick amount of time. Then you have to launch multiple daemons to "crawl" the web (which, of course, you will not have the resources to do quickly) and it will take you a long, long time, to finish crawling anything that would be satisfactory.
Search Engines like Googles don't rely on people submitting links. they crawl.
