What I need is a search engine script in PHP that uses MySQL as a data storage medium. This has been done on RAC plenty of times before, so what I need is the ability to do fulltext searches (listing relevancy first) and mysql already has functionality for this. I need to be able to assign specific "collections" of data to be searched, a user should be able to search any or ALL collections. I should also be able to exempt certain pages or directories from being indexed. This search engine is designed for use with one of my sites, so we dont need to crawl the internet, just merely specify locations and go. The final thing is, ofcourse, some sort of administration schema that allows me to set a date for the index to be updated. With the many bright coders that are on RAC and the flexibility of PHP and MySQL, I dont see why this should be a problem. Feel free to use any of YOUR code, just dont go ripping a project off of sourceforge, PSC, or the like because I DO browse all of those sites. Overall, im a very flexible person. I would like to see a demo before all funds are released to make sure things are in order. PS: If possible, try to make the engine capable of indexing dynamic content Thanks and happy bidding!
