:eek: :confused: are you serious???
there is a lot of things to consider in making a search engine of your own
you need to program... :) ;) :p

the closest I've ever come to producing such a system used PHP to perform a google search, then harvest the results and show them directly of the page(so it looked like my site had done the search), making a search engine yourself is hideously complexe and untill you become known highly expensive(consider that google has over 20 independant spiders working around the clock on throusands of sites a second, consider the bandwitdh!)

to make your own search engine it's complexe and costly.

the closest I have come was using PHP to turn google's results into my results.

do you know anywhere where i can get a search engine already made up and all i ahve to do is put it on my site and put all the info in it? :confused:

Maybe we need to gather a bit more info from you first...

Do you want to create a Search for just your website or the WHOLE Internet like Google does?

The one is fairly easy the other is "nearly" impossible or worth it.
