"Hi, I'm going to write my own search engine (note, there is no ""try"" in there) and I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for anything from coding to algorithm to design to anything else. I have Apache, PHP, and MySQL installed on my PC so I was just going to set up a small engine on my pc while I tweak it before expanding it to include the whole web (x years down the road). I'm also going to be using it for a ""site-search"" feature for my sites. Does anyone have any advice? I already know several things:
1. It will be hard.
2. It will be very hard.
3. It will use up tons of bandwidth, hard drive space, and other server resources.
4. I will not be able to host another ""google"" on my little pc.
5. To succeed, it will have to be different then the thousands of other small search engines all over the web.
6. It will be spam-free (or as spam-free as I can make it)."
