Hi there
I am about to launch a Perl Application which will do mostly what you need. It will be available for demo soon at http://www.minigoogle.co.uk
It searches msql databases, entire web directories and contains an engine which allows the admin to specify a url on another website to be spidered and indexed in the database. So you could group websites together under a topic and search these sites by keyword.
I am hoping the concept will take off and I can "chain" the search engines together to make a much bigger searchable repository (similar to the way filesharing works but with information).
The intention is to create a service which allows a more focused search with more accurate results. BUt it is early days yet.
I also have a Lite version of the script which searches only flat file databases. It has been a team effort with several programmers working on it from all over the world.
Pretty soon there will also be a version which will work like a Yahoo style directory engine but the plans for this have only just been drawn up.
Does anyone have any comments, thoughts or ideas?
cheers

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
