Search engine material

Hi there,

I have been looking up various search engine material on the net. One that
looks promising is an article that Wrox published, which is no longer
available. I have the article, but cannot get the source code, as the
company that have taken over from wrox have decided to drop it in their
infinite wisdom.

So, does anyone have the source code for the articles?

1. A C# Web Spider written as a Wed Service
2. Building a special purpose search engine

Both are by Aldy Karma and ST Tan.

The articles appear good, but without the source, I fear they are
effectively useless.

Best regards,
Dave Colliver.

Not for those articles, but I'd urge you to look at Lucene.Net:
http://lucenedotnet.com/

Lucene is a great indexer, which may well be able to form the heart of
whatever search engine you're trying to write.

I'm looking for a Wiki engine to set up for my company, so that we can incrementally add user documentation for a fairly complex program, plus allow users to add their own comments for the benefit of others. I'd strongly prefer a Python-based Wiki, since that allows me the chance to add plugins with minimal effort (being a python enthusiast and programmer). However, I'd also like something that can provide a little more structure than...

I have designed a site for a client, but they have hired an internet marketing person to incrase their search engine ranking and traffic. He wants to put extra-large fonts on every page which will make the design looks a bit rediculous. He also said that the big text cannot be hidden. I am just trying to find a compromise. Here are the questions: (1) Is it true that a page with an <H1> tag and very big font size will make a search...

Hi, Anyone has the background for explaining? I have made a search on my name and I have got a link to another search engine. The link's title was the search phrase for the other search engine (a wicked phrase). Some but not all of the words of that phrase exist in my website. I reported it and they removed the link but did not give explanations.

My manager wants me to develop a search program, that would work like they have it at edorado.com. She made up her requirements after having compared how search works at different websites, like eBay, Yahoo and others. This is what she wants my program to be able to do: (try this test at different websites just for fun). At eBay: - enter the word 'television' in a search field à you will get 2155 items.

Are the differences between a search engine, a subject directory and a meta search engine significant for an ebusiness web site owner? A meta search engine merely uses ordinary existing search engines. A subject directory classifies websites into some category. Could anyone point me towards the differences between these three that are significant for an ebusiness web site owner?

Does anyone know of a way to create a search page under ASP.NET 2.0? I have started out by configuring a catalog in Index Server, registering the aspx, ascx extensions in the registry to allow them to be indexed and built the catalog as per KB article, but I've run into an interesting problem. When you publish a website from Whidbey, it precompiles everything and strips out the searchable details of the page (metadata, html, etc)...

I am building a website with identical content in four different languages. On a first visit, the search engine determines the language of the content by the IP address of the visitor. What the user sees is content in only one language at a time. He or she can then switch to another language and set this as the preferred language, but again he or she sees content in only this one other language. The question now is: How do I get search...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
