search engine

[vinodh kumar]

hai all,
i am student of computer science dept. i have planned to
design a search engine in python. i am seeking info about how to
proceed further.
i need to know what r the modules that can be used.

There is not a "search engine module" around AFAIK. You should do your
homework first and learn about search engines in a language-independent
way from some good textbook such as "Mining the Web"
(http://http.cs.berkeley.edu/~soumen/mining-the-web/), break the
problem into subparts and decide which ones you will implement. By then
you should have a much better idea of what modules to look for.

Anyway, if you are going to design a new search engine and implement it
then you will probably need to use modules only as a helper to your
algorithm.

There are these two guys Sacha or Sergey and Larry (if I remember
correctly) who already wrote a cute search engine in python, perhaps
you could ask them for some help.

There are python bindings for lucene, swish, Xapian, etc. As well as a
Zcatalog. There *was* Pyndex, from Divmod, maybe they'll send you the
source.

More books: Manning and Schuetze "Statistica l NLP", Berry and Browne's
"Understand ing Search Engines"
