Rank base search engine.

Recently I start to work on a search engine.
after some Googling on it. I found a paper about Rank-based search engine. It start in 1996 that some search engines like Goolge itself try to priorities the result finding by a query string. The older method called Boolean search that only contain some simple gate like: contain, not contain, and,or. But this new method search the words and then try sort the result by most relevent documents for visitor. this is exactly the result of our normal reaction for just checking top 10 google result or re-search with new querys.

In the first step it seems very easy to do this. But after you dirty your hand with code, many problems and constrains appear from nowhere: time limit, meaningless words in query, false response, ... .
Right now, I'm just working on it...

Cuil - New search engine.



recently there are some talking about new search engine named Cuil in the news. It called itself as "the world's biggest search engine".
Cuil’s goal is to solve the two great problems of search: how to index the whole Internet—not just part of it—and how to analyze and sort out its pages so you get relevant results.

In my opinion, It could grow up fast and can use as Google alternative. Try it.
