Just out of curiosity.. relating to this subject.. does anyone have any good documentation on creating your own site index so you can create your own search engine? That is.. do search engines like Google take every word in a web page and if you search for that specific word it has a list of all URLs whose pages contain that word? I mean, what is the general theory behind creating a searchable index as opposed to just storing all your web pages in a database and using SQL to find the pages? If you indexed the pages you could then do a sort by relevance (which you really can't do with just doing a 'LIKE' SQL query on your raw content). I know this isn't strictly PHP related, but if someone hasn't done a basic indexing search engine in PHP, then it's time someone did I think. :) -TG = = = Original message = = = Why not use PHP to create static pages from your dynamic info (say 5 minutes after the data is update?) and allow for the system to search the site then? I have noticed that I don't even have to do that for the search spiders from Google and yahoo to trawl my site and get everything, so maybe looking for code to curl through would be good?
