    Simple, sit down and start coding.

    Lol. I need a blueprint first. I can't just randomly start coding. That's not how I work.

    Computers replaced blueprinters decades ago, so you may have a problem there. Even if you can find a blueprinter, I doubt that you can find the needed ink and paper for it. The last blueprinter I saw was around 40 years ago when the power company gave me one to scrap out. Sold the motor out of it and used its table for 35 years in my office.

    blueprint as in a site like trello, its a site helps you organize the to-do list for your website/project.
    trello is quite useful. you should check it out when you aren't busy.

    Trello is great but I doubt it has much to do with creating a search engine.

    So you want to compete with Google or do you have a niche, private thing you want to create?
    There are companies that sell search engine searches where the algorithm is tuned to your needs - like lawyers, the SERPs favour legal sites.

    Have you looked at GitHub? A quick search there came up with some credible options: https://github.com/search?q=search+engine

    Be prepared to spend up large on bandwidth and disk space. Ironically, using Google's hosting services might be the most cost effective way or storing your bot's data.

    Or...

    do you just want to create something like duck duck go that isn't an actual search engine?

    The irony that you want to create a "search tool" when you can't use existing search tools is not lost on me. Although maybe that's the user problem you're trying to solve.

    To create a new Programmable Search Engine, all you have to do is choose which sites to search and give your search engine a name.

    1. From the Programmable Search Engine homepage, click Create a custom search engine or New search engine.

    2. In the Sites to search box, type one or more sites you want to include in the search results. You can include any sites on the web, even sites you don’t own. Don’t worry, you can always add more later.

    3. In the Name of the search engine field, enter a name to identify your search engine. For tips on naming your search engine, see Branding guidelines below.

    4. Once you’re ready, click Create.
