Hi All,
I am a rookie to the web programming domain. I only have some basic scientific programming skills (read: writing simple if-else and for loop programs). I wanted to embark on programming a web search engine from scratch. I figured it would not only help me improve my programming skills but will also give me something tangible to evaluate my progress.
I was wondering if any of you could give me pointers to the right resources. I looked up amazon for books on "search engine programming" and got nothing. Obviously I am doing something completely wrong. If you could point out a website or a book or anything of that sort where I could go from scratch.
I have working knowledge of python, perl, C++ and Java.
thanks,
Sandeep.

| Welcome to A1vbcode chsus.  I would leave that to Google or Yahoo I don't think they like competition.  You can always do a search on PSC thats the best site for any type of VB app.

I've been programming with VB for 17 years. Started with VB4 16bit Pro, VB5 Pro, VB6 Pro/Enterprise and now VB3 Pro. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning.

| Its a bit complicated architecture. Search engines basically works on crawling the websites, acquiring, sorting and storing the information and snapshots about websites in its database. mostly u should learn more on internet protocols then how to access websites from your application. if you are using visual basic to do this, winsock will be your friend. for example; for google to work properly, your site must some kind of sitemap, keywords and correct structure....good luck though
