Hi all, Really want to start a search engine on one of my sites as I think at LEAST it will give me a good idea of what my visitors really want. I want to set it up basically like Google, Ixquick, Dogpile, etc. Big bar in the middle basically. I've found a couple scripts on CodeCanyon, and there are some paid options. Anyone know of something like one of these? Or used one of these? http://codecanyon.net/item/php-searc...review/4052196 http://codecanyon.net/item/php-video...review/3123910 http://www.extremecorporate.net/sear...news=1&search= I've been learning HTML the past year, and just started PHP... I'm basically wanting to offer a metasearch service on a site. My thinking is it's better to buy something like one of the above and build on and with that as a learning project, rather than building my own from scratch which would really take me a long time with my current time obligations and knowledge level. That might be the best way to start - but I also want a functioning site up in the meanwhile. Does that sound like a relatively solid plan? I learn best by building and working on a project. I don't know if there's any issues I'll have working on something that is someone else's programming originally but I'm hoping that won't be insurmountable? If you know any other meta/search engine options out there, free or cheap or even expensive but super awesome, let me know? I do have some pages I'm reading that basically show how to create your own simple search engine, cut and paste, but I'm not sure how I feel about those quite yet. I'd like to have something plugged in and operating, at least capturing a few search queries, that already has a solid set of features and 'prettying up' done, before just copy and pasting some basic engine into a page. On the other hand, maybe not. Anyone interested in providing any feedback at all - super appreciated! Thanks! (Back to reading.)
