Sphider is working great! You can see it in action on my site: http://www.havread.com/se10/ So far the only thing you can find in searches are: Website Design, Website Hosting, Branded Email, Domain Name Registration, E-Commerce Take a look and let me know what you think... I am still working on the results page to get it to look custom for my site. I am open for input, also if anyone else needs help with adding Sphider let me know...

Thanks for all the helpful hints, I found a website from the script library search, and I am trying out: Sphider. So far so good. I will let you all know!

Thanks, I sent the Admin a PM, I can't wait to hear from him or anybody else, Did that search, is there anything else I can add to the search other than script libraries to help narrow it down?

Hello, new member, first post. I will try not to be a Help Vampire. I did some searching and didn't find what I was looking for, so here is my post, if this has already been covered please direct me to where I missed it. What I am trying to do is build a business directory for my home town. The way I want to manage it is by keywords, where buinesses choose what keywords describe their business. Then when someone comes to the website and wants to search for a business, lets say Pizza Delivery, they would input pizza delivery in the search box, I want all the businesses that have pizza, delivery, pizza delivery, keywords to come up. My first choice was simple to use google, and have a google custom search on my site... I set that all up (it is set up on there now, http://www.havread.com/bd/index.html ). However, I am at the mercy of google when it will crawl my website. This wont work for me, I dont want new businesses listed to have to wait weeks for their entry to show up. So what I want to do is build my own search engine on my site, that searches for keywords. I have done some searchs on google to find premade code and I am striking out. So here I am. Does anybody know some great help or how to's to teach me how to build my own search engine for my site. I would prefer PHP and MySQL to use. But I am open to just about anything. I am a fast learner, so please shoot me some help!
