Re: Re: make a web site searchable

[dataferret]

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 Dataferret

yes, i don't think google will be particularly happy with your choice of application name.
