    Hey

    Im thinking of making a search engine but I have a few questions:

    1. Is it possible to make a search engine using PHP, if so is the best?
    2. How do you make one, does anyone have a guide?

    Thanks

    Yip it is possible, here is one I started some time ago, but never got around to finishing.

    I'll see if I can find the project files.

    Found your code:

    <HTML>
    <Head>

    <IFRAME SRC="http://elfsearch.mantis.0lx.net/search.php" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=400>
    If you can see this, your browser doesn't
    understand IFRAME. However, we'll still
    <A HREF="http://elfsearch.mantis.0lx.net/search.php">link</A>
    you to the file.
    </IFRAME>


    </HTML>

    But it isn't the proper code, how do you add more links to the search engine?

    Thanks

    firstly, if you think that is the code.... you should re-think coding a search engine.

    Thanks, although you can't search anything using it and also when you add a search nothing happens :(, for example here it is uploaded:
