Hey folks,
I am a web developer with multiple websites running on asp and php. I wanted to create a search engine box for my website. You know the search engine feature so that people can search for content.
I know that you can get Google or Yahoo search engine code but according to some experts it is a very poor choice for a site search because it is updated so infrequently. Any information that needs to be updated, may take many days or weeks before yahoo’s or googles search engine spiders catch the new info. Because of this your search engine users might not get what they are looking for. I update my site often and also have forums and blogs.
So what alternative you people suggest?
I was looking at a search engine making tool its called Smart Spidey (http://www.smartspidey.com/). I contacted then and they also told me that they will be releasing a new and improved version very soon. I tried version its not bad. So what do you guys suggest.
Is making you own search engine hard?
If this not the right place to ask this question please move this post somewhere else.
Hoping to get some good advice
