 | View Full Version : Starting a search engine LoganNZ 03-10-2005, 04:40 PM I am looking for some simple to use search engine software, which i can start a small search engine with? I know, i will need multiple servers. BUt can someone please suggest some good search engine serving software? Thanks ! Loganaew 03-10-2005, 05:10 PM Haha yay another Logan :) Search engine software, I think to become a very good search engine it's a good idea to write your own? Although not too sure on the subject... interesting project to start though Logan. LumaBoards 03-10-2005, 06:07 PM Yes, best to write your own, otherwise, how can it possibly be better than google? It can't. The only way to have something unique is to make it yourself. I am planning on making 1 one in the future once I complete my current project. lemming2 03-11-2005, 10:05 PM This page may come in handy: www#searchtools#com/tools/tools-opensource.html I'm a newbie so it won't let me post the URL though it's not my site. Just replace the #'s above with "." I haven't used any of these, but I was researching this a few weeks ago and I was thinking about one of these for a future project: Nutch (Java/JSP/Tomcat) Lucene (Java, I think you have to write your own hooks into it) Swish-E (Perl-based, supposed to be simple, but has probs with large databases > 2GB). Hope that helps... Howie datutorials 03-12-2005, 06:48 PM Do you mean pay-per-click search engine or search engine like google and yahoo ? Criminal#58369 03-26-2005, 01:03 AM I think if u have a couple billion you could have a nice search engine like google lmfao! datutorials 03-26-2005, 02:43 AM Ho ho ho, AGREE :cool: Criminal#58369 03-26-2005, 06:28 AM I was on google and i found this: http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/index.html Google Mini Now the same reliable results you expect from Google web search can be yours on your intranet or public website with the Google Mini search appliance.
