It was actually because of this post I decided to do it. Although, I didn't see the new requirements of Author, post views ... etc. http://service.fincoapps.com/crawler/ DanielTheGeek: |

FincoApps: Good job is this your ready made submission or are there still things you are adding to it? Keep the good work on. |

I never start yet o. @Danielthegeek stackoverflow already has an api, can we use that or just crawl alone? |

DanielTheGeek: Both, I'm just as much in it for the fun (competition) as I am in it to learn and try my hands at something I've not done before. 1 Like |

jidez007: Not allowed, this is like using the Internet while writing WAEC. Just crawl the sites. |

DanielTheGeek: Lol, not even building on top of Google search engine? If not, crawling on demand will take time when searching, unless I deploy bots to already start crawling and indexing at an interval. Then I can only imagine the amount of contents that has already been posted on both sites... |

jidez007: You can fork similar projects on github, but must not exceed 10-15 lines of code. |

DanielTheGeek: Can you please explain this point? Do you mean I should host the project on github? |

blenyo11: Yes, if you want the points attached. |

Alright. So here is my own implementation. This took longer than I thought it would have, but I'm not too surprised. Until now, I have never had to implement a web crawler of my own, neither have I ever had to build a search engine of sorts. Aside from that, I'd say it's an okay attempt. It certainly isn't the best search engine in the world (search/results algorithm could always be better). Despite that, I certainly learned a lot from this exercise. I am happy to have done it. Submission: https://github.com/vcnwosu/ChinenyeN-NL-LiveSearch I currently don't have any place to host it, if people are thinking of trying it out. But if you download it and run it on localhost, then you should be able to see it in action. The github link has the source code also, if anyone is interested in taking look at it. |
