    Why do you need to build one ?
    If you want to build one similar to Google you need billions

    You could use Google's Custom Search Engine
    http://www.google.com/cse/

    or maybe install a search engine script

    Like google?

    First of all, get about $500,000,000 in the bank for the basic infrastructure of servers. Once you have that then come back for step 2

    well dear it’s really a big concept. Thought of building a search engine means investing big money on workers specially experienced before building a search engine u have to build a team, if you are serious about this then send me PM. maybe I can help.

    Thanks and cheer up for your enthusiasm.
    and you can name this search engine as "Rummage"

    You need a few PHDs and a good VC to back you up.

    To get you started with the idea, all you need to do is what all other search engines do and that's search each others stored data, for example YOU search google for "search engine" the results shown on googles page can be phrased and stored using example: json, into your own database ready for the next person that might search for "search engines" or an abbreviation of that search term. So what everyone above is trying to say, is that in no time at all you will have a huge database, millions of entries and it will probable only be 0.0000000000000001% of what people really search for. Running a database like that cost money... but not initially of course, so like google your going to need advertisers. If you came up with a catch name anythings possible, theres also techniques to deal with large databases so possible for the first second year it will cost little to run.

    EDIT check out this thread I replied to back in January, you could easily add a few db search checks and then insert results based on your first responses.
