build-your-search-engine Noisylamb

We will put your search engine together with some patchwork. Some code here and some you might prefer to write yourself for your own system.
There is no 'package' install for your search engine, because your search engine is your own search engine. We are happy to share database designs and code for various functions, but you must build it yourself. If your search engine has the required functions to provide referrals to other sites then your site will see increased return traffic.

Code required for Decentralised Searches

This provides a rough guide to the functions that form the search engine. Each can be coded or constructed from available source code.

The source code may be a mixture of bespoke or open source.

We will share some PHP source code for each function so that participating domains can mix and match, as they build their own contributions to the decentralised search.

Compare each step with the steps taken on this site. noisylamb.com

1 Catch Referrals

Update your database every time a page is requested with a ?referrer=DOMAIN

We have a PHP script pageLoadSQL that checks every request. You must install or modify some similar code on your system to update and referrals onto your own database.

Domains that have been referring your pages should be given a higher ranking in your own search engine.

2 Cross Reference Your Pages to Keywords

We do this with a table that has a unique index on the columns ['web_page'] and ['keyword'] This is the main database table for the search engine.

We should use the <meta name="keywords" content="word1,word2"> as a way to exactly specify a small set of keywords for each page.
