What I haven't figured out is how to crawl my site. If I knew how to crawl my site I could write a basic search engine and develop it over time. This is the crucial issue I need help with. I have a really basic search engine I wrote last year. I told my web site what pages the user could search ... as in I keyed in the URL's I am giving my site a face lift and making some serious changes to it ... I have my database out of date ... I would like to crawl my site once a day to update what changes I made during the past 24 hours and delete HTML files which no longer exist. If someone knew how to retrieve various <a href=""> then I could start with something and build on it over time ...
