Hi! Thanks for link, visiting now. :)
I might suggest that you first google for 'how to write a search
engine'; then do a lot of reading;
Have done... a ton of hits for website search tools... but I have yet
to filter the results down to WWW search engine scripts/tutorials...
So far I have had only a few possible options: Google API and/or
Microformat tags.
then curse yourself for having undertaken such a difficult task;
Lol! Yep. I realized that after I posted my question to the list. Hehe!
Man, I wish I were a better programmer!
then try to formulate the criteria/limitations/requirements of yourt
search engine as preciesly as possible ...
Great advice, I really appreciate the tip. :)
and when you have a definite idea about what you want to achieve come
back by all means and ask questions - you never we might even be able
to help (assuming php is the technology tyou choose to implement your
search engine
in)!
And that I will... but I think that I will leave my idea for a later
date... if/when I ever get good enough to write such a program, or when
I discover a script that will allow me to implement my "file-specific
search engine"
ps - creating something decent that resembles a search engine is not
easy IMHO.
good luck
I hear that. Man, I hate my limitations. Oh well, back to watching
season 2 of the Sopranos! ;)
Thanks for the response...
Cheers,
Micky
