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.

kosytedy:
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

Thanks guys for the info, I have an active engine that crawl and index webpage content as we speak.

dhtml18:
- That is another thing, regular search engines don't use ajax - they use <form method="get"> that way, a user can refresh search results, modify, bookmark etc
- As for my internet being slow, adonbilivit

- So you mean searching for goat is not realistic? Well i searched for fulani, php and even nairaland - no result!!!!

I believe we need other testers. . .

Alright, will work on speedy search and more accurate result.

DavidTheGeek:
Work on it bro. It's not mobile friendly at all. And what's that "place your advert here" i'm seeing Isn't it too early for that!

No it isn't. After all its free.

crotonite:
i rate it 0/100000 . you still a very loooong way to go, but do remember when u finally get there.

Lol, no p. This is just the beginning.

Lol, thanks for the feedback.
1. I plan to roll out mobile view version soon.

2. Will look into this, although the database is still not as robust as other popular search engine, but it will get there. Still indexing content. I use title,description and url for now to display content for now, in the future more robust algorithm will be rolled out. Try searching for something more realistic like php, sitepoint, nairaland. Also will work on the speed, just don't want to mix things up, will introduce caching later...

3. It uses ajax to fetch content and doesn't append the search query to the url. Open to idea on this one, but will still work on it.

4. Same with item 3 above.

5. Same with item 2 above.

6. Your internet might be too slow, will see how to improve user experience.

7. Ok, just need more improvement in retrieving result.

To whom it may concern, these are some of my observations:
- Can't find the favicon of nairaland,
- Visiting the homepage at time leads to redirection loop.


Please fix asap.

President Buhari is really heartless and devilish. How can some who can himself a human being and president for that matter keep mute.
This man have no bit of love inside him, I wonder his mission as a president.

President Buhari has failed me as a citizen of Nigeria and there I demand his resignation.

This man has no love for people of this country, therefore I disqualify him as a human. If you are not a human, then what are you....................?

I am interested.

After further research, I discovered that 80% of Nigerians above 17 years are mental cowards.
We think we are not lazy, but the truth must be told.
The "we can survive all " mentality is really affecting our minds and that alone we continue to keep us all oppressed.

What did your aunt do? Some females actually deserve violent beating. Not that I'd ever do that anyway.

She just came back for easter holiday, then he saw her and began to beat her.
He was the reason, she left Lagos at first due to his constant harassment.

He is in police custody as we speak.

Hi, my aunty was brutally beaten by her boyfriend.
We want to charge him to court.
Please I need advice on how to go about this case.
Cheers.
