how to write a search engine

[guoqi zheng]

any one has example/source code how to write an search engine?? Not a search
engine using SQl like statement or SQL full text search. A real search
engine with index and algo. something like google(not that powerful, of
course).

You will need to access resources via HTTP so check out the HttpWebRequest
and HttpWebResponse classes.

That is the crawler, the bot. But that is only one part of it and a less
important part. The more important part is the index and how to determine
the search ranking.

Use a bot to store info collected into a DB, then use SQL query to create
your results. the ranking is based on how many times a certain word appears
in a page, where the word apears in it's metadata, etc.
