Building a Simple Search Engine with PHP (O'Reilly) [LWN.net]

Daniel Solin shows how to code a PHP-based web site search engine on O'Reilly's ONLamp.com site. "A little while ago, I was working on an intranet site for a mid-sized company. As the site grew in both size and popularity, the assigner requested me to extend the site with a search feature. Since one of the rules of the intranet was that all logic code should be written in-house, using an existing open source engine was not an option. Within a day, the engine was quite complete, and the result actually turned out better than expected. With PHP, MySQL, and a few techniques, these small projects are very easy."
