Geek pride moment
I just finished writing a search engine from scratch for Fighting Bob that uses SQL Server full-text indexing, along with some fairly complex SQL and Cold Fusion code. I’m sure it’s not perfect, and I’m sure lots of other people could do the same thing in their sleep. But I’m still pleased.
Very groovy! I’m working on a “real” search engine of my own (word parsing, word match, relevance, search scope, etc.). I’ll go take yours out for a spin.
Très cool, Adam! Creating such a beast, using PHP and MySQL, is one my to-do list. But unlike John, I have no idea how to build one that would go beyond simple word matches. Well …I have some ideas on limiting search scope, but I suspect whatever I end up with won’t be mind-blowing. ;-P}
