hi guys,

i just finished highschool starting to do webdesign at uni, and for one of my major project i want to make a search engine as simple as google that searches for example 10 websites and with the keyword given it brings out the results.

im doing a website on jetski sales results so if someone want to buy a jetski they come to this website and just choose the choose one from those 10 website without going to them individually. so it brings out all search resuts in a nice results format, and when you click on each results it take you to the website but i wanna be able to show their photo and price so just like brings their results into your site but combing 10 website results.

and i need to have an advance search option where they can search year price age of jetski, and all these variables are also in the 10 websites that im getting the results from.

i have been doing some searching and i cant get my head around i need some help LOL i dont wanna fail...

cheers guys

You will need to use a server side language (PHP, ASP, Etc.) along with a data query language (SQL,MySQL, Etc.) not HTML. You should learn the basics of whichever languages you choose before attempting this. From what you describe you will have to build a web crawler that will require a languge such as C. I haven't used it but you may look into google site search bar API that might keep you from having to build the crawler.

Sounds like a cool project.

Instead of 10, if you can live with 8 results, you can try the Google AJAX Search API - Google Code

I have an example at Datasheet & Application Note Database, PDF, Circuits, Datasheets | Datasheets.net : TLP160J if you're interested in seeing what it can do.
