    Hi Everyone.
    Am about to create a search engine for my project using php and mysql. My question is that > Do i have to keep creating tables and entries in the database to contain all the topics to be searched for? Or is there another way to go about it? cos i dont think i can really enter all the search topics and their web address and also their keywords.
    Thank You.

    How the big search engines do this is by having a set list of directorys to start from, then they just follow all of the links in those sites and that starts them off. Get the top 100 directories that's a good enough to start, store meta info etc into a database, and use that to cross reference when someone makes a search.

    Kind regards,

    Glen
