Need help in constructing a search engine

    Hi guys,

    I have taken up a project of constructing a new search engine. This is my academic project. So i do not have to build it very efficiently like google or yahoo. First of all i need to make it work in a very simple way. So that i can show the output and say it is working fine.

    I have done with the crawling of internal links. I have decided to go with the concept of directory submission. So ultimately my results will be the url from my database matching the search phrase.

    After crawling and taking a list of web pages available in my database, now i need to rank them based on the content. I may have different websites in the database. So now, i need to give them a tag saying that "This page is about education or travel or business like that". I mean the page ranking concept here.

    I do not know how exactly to do that. Can anyone tell me on how to do that? because on submission, first itself i will do a work with the contents part of the site and give information and rank them. So that when a user needs something, i can immediately display the links according to the previously caluclated Page Rank concept by me.

    I know many here have constructed your own search engine. So i thought it will be good for me to contact you guys and get the help. Thanks.

    In other words you need categorization.

    If you like it I can give you a hint what you should do.

    Yes dude. It is like page ranking according to me. So once if i analyze the contents of the webpage, i may give a description on the page like that. After concluding this, it will be easy for me to search the pages and give the results back to the users. Hope you understood it.

    It looks like it's under construction. Could you explain, please,
    what is the purpose of this site?
    who should be interested and in which context in
    Most Popular Searches and Recent Searches
    Where did you get them? They should be results of processing search engine logs.

    why don't you get one of the widely available search engine scripts in php and use that as a starting point?

    Refer to the Sphider search engine script (its in PHP), download the file and study its source code. It has the categorisation feature that you require.

    http://www.sphider.eu/

    On a side note, I am currently working on a search engine using the Sphider script, although its not completed yet.
