Search engine sript meta_search

[Zues]

Anyone know of a script similar in function to all the major search engines. One that will perhaps autocrawl perhaps using cron. Having a hard time locating what would be a decent one.

Thank you in advance

ahh I found this one

a reputation or an NP$ donation would be nice (hehe)

 

[Zues]

Thank you.

That one searches using other search engines.

I am trying to do the oppisite I want to brand my own so that all the sites indexed are in my database and the search results show all the sites in my database. Also will allow people to add there site and then I would authorize the link and it would spidered. Something to this effect

 

[zaros64]

ahh you want one like that?? I know one of them.. PM me if you want it

Oh, I have one! Actually 2 even.
http://www.cs.ioc.ee/~ando/sphider/
and http://phpdig.com
I personally like sphider the best, though if you really want to make a huge search engine with it you will need a dedicated servewr, and even if you want to index a few websites check with yor host to make sure that it is ok because i did tht and I was useing 98% of the CPU!
NP$ donation or Reputation would be nice as majinbuu1023 said :hehe:

i don't think a script that searches meta tags is what you want really. I heard google has acctual software that does it. Maybe something like that would be more useful?

Good Luck though

as i know there is a software from google, the one which you are looking for, but you have to pay for that to googleTM .

A meta search usually does not do a crawl. And a SE that builds it own crawling and builds its own db, is not a meta search and generally not a script.

Take a look at nutch it may do what you want.

Hrm, does anyone know of one that is similar to dogpile - capable of piggy backing off other search engines?

 

[Zues]

Thank you Sphider is the actual one im using at this time at kazog.com it is ok but lacking some features I had no idea it used a lot of cpu will need check it out.


As for the piggyback getting the results from other engines the one that
majinbuu1023 mentioned at jivenetworks.com/software/php/metasearch/ says on its page
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
· Popular engines. Allow individuals to search popular search engines like ABC and/or Yahoo!.

Might be the one those ones are very comm0n


********EDITED********
checked the cpu useage on sphider and in my cpanel under server status had to keep refreshing the highest I saw was

Server Load 1.79 (2 cpus)

So I think that will be ok might just have someone edit this to do a couple more things. This way I get what I want and dont have to keep researching scripts

you can do this with some small mods to the porxtml scripts. You would need to
figure out how to do the merge, since it is geared toward PPC so the default is using the bid prices.

I recomend this http://chatologica.com/site/FMSE.php

But the best way is to learn a programming language and make your own...
