I'm Dave and I am trying to build a search engine .. not code it .. because I'm mot a coder, but build it as I would a business.
I'm sure to be asking lots of dumb questions. |

Hello masidini,
Yes, I remember our conversations. My work is not going so well, primarily because I am not a programmer.
I'm having all sorts of problems finding anyone to help me for less than big $$$, even for installing open source on my server.
I think people sometimes confuse "reasonable price" with "free". One recent suggestion went like, "Well, I'm very busy and could possibly get you ann application in about 3 months for around 5 figures.":)
I would like to try Combine/Zebra, as Combine is a focused crawler, does some of the indexing and is open source.
But realistically, unless I can hire someone to do some setup and configuration, I will get nowhere. However, I'm in for the long run.
I have some good marketing plans, but they are useless without the platform on which to deploy them.
How is you own work going?
Dave |

Hi,
My own work is going very slow. I have the basic crawler setup going - a modified version of the larbin crawler (written in c++). I haven't heard of Combine before, but will have a look at it.
My day job has been very busy for the last two months, hence the lack of progress. Plus I feel I've gone off the boil a little and need to re-motivate myself.
Good luck with your project and keep us posted,
Simon
