I once wrote a (really simple) search engine in perl/mysql ... I made a keyword ranking system .... create table keywords ( keyword varchar(50) not null, score int(5) unsigned not null, url_id int(10) unsigned not null, index(keyword, url_id) ); create table urls ( url_id int(10) unsigned not null auto_increment primary key, url text not null ); select urls.url from keywords, urls where keywords.keyword = '$keyword' and keywords.url_id = urls.url_id order by keywords.score desc; So, the key in this system is parsing and ranking ... Dunno know how google does it though :p -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
