I think he wants to create his OWN search engine or "borrow" the technology that the big boys use? Creating your own technology is hard and takes take. If it is possible I'd use technology already in place.

Well, from where will you get the sites database from ?

Also, I believe google did use the yahoo database ? Did they buy it ?

Yahoo! used google's database and now has switched to overture, which they bought out a few months ago.

So, they bought it ? I dont think you can use for free so radman you'll have to invest for the db.

BTW, does google have some python/php based robot which auto scans a website. if so any similar scripts ? Or else how do they get the urls to add. All the urls in their database are not posted manually by the people.

here is another method to use google to search your spidered pages, not exactly what you are looking for but you will probably like it.

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text" name="q" maxlength="255" style="width:300px;margin-top:9px;">
<input type="hidden" name="domains" value="http://www.yoursite.com">
<input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="http://www.yoursite.com">
<input type="submit" name="sa" VALUE="Search &raquo;">
</form>
