Just out of curiosity.. relating to this subject.. does anyone have any good
documentation on creating your own site index so you can create your own search
engine?
That is.. do search engines like Google take every word in a web page and if
you search for that specific word it has a list of all URLs whose pages contain
that word? I mean, what is the general theory behind creating a searchable
index as opposed to just storing all your web pages in a database and using SQL
to find the pages? If you indexed the pages you could then do a sort by
relevance (which you really can't do with just doing a 'LIKE' SQL query on your
raw content).
I know this isn't strictly PHP related, but if someone hasn't done a basic
indexing search engine in PHP, then it's time someone did I think. :)

Why not use PHP to create static pages from your dynamic info (say 5 minutes
after the data is update?) and allow for the system to search the site then? I
have noticed that I don't even have to do that for the search spiders from
Google and yahoo to trawl my site and get everything, so maybe looking for code
to curl through would be good?

Rosen is quoted as saying on 1/20/2005 7:48 AM:
But here the problem is, that the texts in database uses from different
scripts and on the search engine I should show and link to the sctipt, thath
shows searched data.
My idea was for search script, who explore the whole site (as generated from
PHP scripts - via links ).

Looks like you will have to write your own. Have a look at the
scripts you have and see how they do it. One option is to write the
'static' pages into the database as well as the file system. I
personaly put all content into a database and do not really have any
static pages atall.

I try many scripts for searching, but they don't work how I want.
The problem is, that part of site is static text ( not in database ) ,
other
part ( products ) are in MySQL database - this part is generating from
PHP
scripts.

This kind of depends on what database you are using (I am asuming you
mean you have a data driven site you want to search so strictly
speaking it is the database that you want to search).
Mysl has free text search facilities (i.e. you can pass it a number of
words and it can search for them in a set of database fields and even
kreates a 'ranking'). however this only works if you have a few
hundread records - less than this and the results are unpredictable.
Have you tries googeling for php search scripts?
