Hi, I am devoloping a game's website and wanted to know if there was any programming or coding that could let me put a search engine on my site. I don't want to use something like google search or picosearch or someother 3rd party software because I really want to have my own search engine. If someone could do this, but requires payment for it, this is all I can do. I can't pay with cash or paypal, but I can let you have like a banner ad or a link on my site or we can worth something out. Thanks in advance, Tushar Dhoot
Absolutely, In my projects I've used Microsoft's own engine (Indexing Service I believe it's called) to do the searching - if you specify where you want to search, then you can hit it up just like a DB Query Their is also a tool in ColdFusion i forget what it's called, but it recursevly searches Everything! Their are also pre-built web-applications out there, like one in classic asp, that has an application that scrapes your whole site, dumps all that data in an access db, then gives you an ASP Search Tool using that scraped data from the access db. this is the easiest and fastest for ASP if you don't want to code anything, hehe It all depends on your language though - you could query a google search like php curl scrape the results of a Google Site Search.
Thanks for the help buddy. I googled some of your terms and worked my way through the webs to a service called Ksearch. Its not that hard to install for us non-progamming designers. There is also a site, called godandscience.com, that gives a farther explained guide on how to use it. Go to their site and put ksearch into the search box.
