Make Your Own Search Engine As Good As Google

i found this open source script that allows you to make a search engine similare to google but with your own logo and your own ads to make money. i uses google api and google indexing.go check it out at phpgoogle.com

thanks mate will check it out soon

Sorry for asking but is this legal? Doesn't sound like it but I may be wrong. Also does anyone know where to get that mini google search engine you can place on your own site? I'm almost ready for my own site.. a few more hosting credits.

yes its completely legal. its an open source project. but first you have to get your free google api license.

and also you wanted a google search on you site.

hope this helps

cool...

Very simply put, this script connects to the Google API Web service using your Google API key, and queries Google from thre. The guy that made it mimiced the real Google interface, so that's why it looks so good. It's not as good as Google; basically, it is Google.

exactly, so your pretty much changining the google logo to your own, and have your own ads, put your using the great search techonology google provides. i think this is a nice way to make some money dont you guys think. or mabey not because will just go to google rather than your skined google. so its just a little site add on you can put in you site.

so what... it would definitely increase sites traffic

?So it?s legal although somebody is using google search engine and basically removing the google logo? Pretty strange...And how are you going to make money? People won?t use your customized google only because your logo looks cooler. ?Am I wrong?

copyright...anyways i think this is kinda lame. imagine what other search engines you are competing against. how many servers do they have?! how much space do they have for web crawlers..? it's not worth doing.

However, after your site is up, and it gets a lot of visitors, there will be a great stress on the server. First, you're searching and indexing billions of sites... imagine your computer connected to even 1000 servers at the same time... it probably won't be able to last long enough to do that. Also, making your own ads... you are competeting with over thousands of different services. But it's a good tool to have if you have a small search engine for private use.

Yes All these coding is Legel! Did'nt you know that most of the smaller search engines (i think i can't name it here) are acually getting search results from google! Yes though it seems as if they did it htem selves it's actually the same code told above! Ain't that a suprise!

I dont think that its that bad of an idea. Everyone knows that they can not be as good as google. I think that most of the people that are trying this out is for getting a little extra money with ads. I wouldnt try to run google out of business because it would never happen but its a easy way to make some cash if you put ads and offer for each search.

I think the results are still shown in a google fashion right or at least have some of googles own ads on them if not why would google be willing to share its API and indexing service and let you market and put your logo to its service.Given that google is so strict on the adsense service and copyright laws, not wanting to infringe on intellectual property or step on anyone's toe (it wants to be in everyone's good books) what if someone misuses this indexing system. Anyway I still do not really get why google is allowing this.

the only thing that googlephp thingie could be usefull for is if you wont to build search engine on another language.
