    Poor results. Intrusive and inappropriate ads for a search engine to be showing.

    Teh-Uploader, if you read the first reply I made to this threat, I do offer my advice if you want it. I wrote my own search engine while learning how to program PHP, then re-wrote it while learning Python.

    Hehe, let me quote my first reply and we can go from there:

    1. When I do a search I get a security error alert probably due to a site you are advertising for. After clicking cancel the results load and they don't look too bad.

    2. You might want to at least use some free scripts to setup your own ad system, assuming your main goal is making money.

    3. Writing your own "real" search engine technology is a very large project. Depending on what your goals are and how much you already know it could be easier or it could be harder. Either way, you need to know at least one programming language.

    Most important is #3: what type of engine do you want to write and what goals to you have for the site/business? After defining those it will be easier to help you write one as well as easier for you to start doing it yourself.

    Thanks for your words.

    I have my own ad system, I don't want to make money, I want to learn, if anybody has a tut to do it'll be fine I think.

    How possably can it be hard to make your own serach engine script?

    All you need is;

    Updates, PR updates, serach, images, ect? is it hard?

    Hi Teh-Uploader,

    Thank you for the reply. Letting me know if the project is for learning or profit definitely helps. If you don't need it to make money holding off on the ads would actually improve user experience.

    Regarding how hard it actually is, the following factors come into play:

    1. Will you write it yourself or will you pay someone else to write it for you?

    2. Will it be a meta search engine (using another search engine results) or will you actually have your own crawler, indexer and search interface?

    3. How scalable will it be (number of total pages cataloged and number of queries per second)?

    4. Creativity, what will make it unique to draw any attention at all?

    Sense you are just doing it to learn it could be a lot easier than actually trying to make a commercial search engine. You will write it yourself, it will have its own technology, it will not be very scalable and it doesn't have to be unique.

    Here are some general steps to take:

    1. Learn about programming languages, which ones work best. Python works great for web crawling, C/C++ and Perl can work well for indexing.

    2. Learn exactly how search engines work and read as much as you can. Here are some good articles:

    http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html
    http://www.thinkpink.com/bp/WebCrawler/WWW94.html
    http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-as/asg1251e/verity/@Generic__BookView

    Hope that helps, let me know if I can help in any other way.
