Great idea. Please use <form method="get"...> and <input type="text" name="q"...>, the call the searched item with $_GET['q']. Don't use caching, it's better to optimise your database and database queries to act faster (check stackoverflow). I need to tell u many things but, don't have time now. Good work, and more grease to ur elbow. I have a robot that scrapes site and stores relevant keywords for the site in the database (that might be helpful too). Keep it up. I love ideas 1 Like |

You need to write a daemon that scrap sites, i too have a library somewhere that can do that. Doing a search engine means you need to do an intensive research before implementation. And do you know that if you search google for goaat - the first result will be goat. There is a term for that, which i don't fully remember now. That is possible even in mysql database, but i dont recommend mysql for this kind of thing. This your search will be much better if you use NODE.JS. Imagine a million people searching at the same time. . .how do you handle concurrency? that your ajax script will just die and rest in pieces. |

all complaint made by dhtml are all true, I was so exited when I saw Nigerian made search engine but was disappointed when words like Ikeja, even Lagos shows no result. as if the database is empty or not querying any data. |
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 6:24pm On May 14, 2016 |
It is a good start, with proper work, it can be done. Keep up the good work dude. If you need my assistance, just PM me right away. I have a few libraries that can help you get started. |

Funny enough, [s]Your search engine can't even find your own site[/s] I'm not going to blast this one... With the big picture in mind and future possibilities I would like to index my page on your engine on one condition: 1. PURCHASE AND INSTALL A SSL CERTIFICATE. |
Re: A New Search Engine by FincoApps(m): 9:10pm On May 14, 2016 |
COMMON GUYS.... Dhtml5 points are all valid.... however, the point most of us are giving that "the engine cannot find some keywords" is somehow unfair considering the age of this search engine. This engine just started today right ? How on earth is it supposed to gather most of the internet in 1 day?? Even AI bots that use machine learning to get smarter always seem very dumb during the initial days of deployment so guys calm down |
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 9:17pm On May 14, 2016 |
I know my own mouth is a bit sharp, but @op, i need test keywords that i can use to search to even see how the result page looks like. I search for nairaland, go and brush my mouth come back (a little exagerrated sha), wait small before the result shows - nothing. Imagine if this thread has hit FP, what would ave happened? I can answer that - a full scale war followed by relegation of the entire programming section for good (this section will never see FP ever ever again) |

Hello search engine guy, check out this class i wrote sometimes ago, it would really help to improve your search engine. www.phpclasses.org/package/8926-PHP-Perform-full-text-search-on-MySQL-with-autocorrect.html Kudos and welldone |
Re: A New Search Engine by larisoft: 2:49pm On May 16, 2016 |
uhmm...nice try bro. But this does not a search engine make. Plus the fact that you are trying to make money off something this ...under developed... makes me wonder if you are in this for the love or for money? 2 Likes |

Re: A New Search Engine by micodon(m): 3:49pm On May 16, 2016 |
My guess is that you are using a LAMP stack for this search NG. That's like swallowing a timed explosive. You want to do it right, do It right.... You need a language that can handle concurrency with breeze. Someone said Nodejs. I wouldn't advice that. By default, it doesn't use all the cores of your server. Spring up something with Golang (go routines and channels are the bomb), Rust, even JAVA. UNLESS ITS A SCHOOL PROJECT, JUST DITCH PHP. |

^^^Santa maria! I actually sniffed his server (with my very long nose) and smelt out php/mysql. . . . .to my greatest surprise!! |

dhtml18: OP Nice concept, na somewhere google take start, but seriously if u wanna get somewhere with this, 1.go with the above advice, the search is too slow, 2.yr ajax use is a non issue use "get" abeg, 3 yr green color boring and dull, yr favicon dull not catchy/sharp not standing out, 4 spacing of the search items too wide apart, no pagination to determine how many pages, 5 meta details of each search not provided(i cannot just click for clicking sake) and 6 please it is too early for advert you can say contact us here simple, wetin, na so u like advert, dn't give yrself away too fast na, money go come but do am well. Nice job sha, |
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 6:05pm On May 16, 2016 |
@op, you need to pay me for my comment o. . . |
Re: A New Search Engine by FincoApps(m): 10:36pm On May 16, 2016 |
There's nothing like "It's too early for advert". Do a good job and let people know it's open to advert, no matter how young it is and you'll be surprised about the result. The message simple makes it known it is open to adverts. I've designed some apps where the client did the same and within days after release, they started getting requests.... sometime Adverts is not really to make money from what you are selling, but just for awareness |
Re: A New Search Engine by sleepingdemon: 11:28pm On May 16, 2016 |
in all of this, that guy that asked you to use golang, i need to flog him very hard. ehen, that advice on java is still fair, on the other hand, what do i know, just in case you're more comfy with php, you can use mongodb as your database instead, when the app outgrows php, you can move to another lang. or if ure a javascript person, mean stack is actually useful. |
Re: A New Search Engine by micodon(m): 11:41pm On May 16, 2016 |
sleepingdemon: What do you know about golang? Java is fair but golang is not? Jeez!! |

Re: A New Search Engine by guru01(m): 3:31pm On May 17, 2016 |
sleepingdemon:Thanks, just wanted to kick off with my favourite language, looking at nodejs in the near future. It seems like some people don't realise how much it cost to host on a dedicated server. |
