Search scripts

[iDenning]

Hey,
Are there any current script's that allow people to search websites, like Google?

I'm looking for a free one, please recommend some, thanks :)

What do you mean " as in search websites"? Like search every website in the WWW or as in search content in 1 website?

If you mean every website you need to do a search in website crawling and a lot of space for a massive database..

The other option is relatively simple and I could make a tutorial about it aslong as you already have a database with content inside such as a CMS with news or blogs..

Best,

Alan.

I want it to search everything that google does and at the same time shows the results on my website instead of redirecting to google.

Why? If you can't code your own Jack you wont get anywhere Im afraid. I mean look at BING, its microsofts and they aren't exactly doing very well!

When you use Google, it doesn't just "search" websites all at once.

Google has millions of servers, in server farms across the world, setup dedicated just to crawling websites.

All it does is visit websites, and index's the keywords, descriptions, etc of them.

It stores them in a database, a very big database with a fast link between them.

So your idea of searching everything Google does has a big link missing; you either use Google's results.. or.. find a lot of servers to crawl.

I think google did a cool custom search thing that kept it on your site but put in ads.

Edit: I think this is it: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/signup.html
