How to make my own search engine similar to google and yahoo?

What do u think can make a search engine better than the existing ones like yahoo,google?

• Answer:

  First of all, you seem to be pretty serious about the project. Given my opinion, if you want to beat Yahoo, Google, you simply need to make a search engine with artificial intelligence, i.e. you start asking questions to it and it replies to you correspondingly. "How can I learn Taekwandoo?" and gives in replies all the sites which have a sort of introduction / FAQ , etc in a manner as a human is replying. I can agree, we need to fast forward ourselves in the future by about 25- 30 years to make that happen. You can agree that there is no deal for you to make a new search engine, if it dosen't offer anything new beside Google and Yahoo. Google is my favourite search engine, but still its not the absolute for all searches. At the bottom part of my answer, I have done some analysis of Google in todays date. Lastly as a suggestion to one of my previous question, I was informed to go about Blog search. Traditional search engines simply crawl the network to find pages to add to their listing, but this approach does not work in a blogging environment, where you may have 100,000 pages updated in less than a day. The question is, how do you arrange your search network to accept pings from pages when they are updated as well as simply crawling? This is the problem that Technorati and Icerocket, among others, are working on. http://www.technorati.com/ http://www.icerocket.com/ ANALYSIS OF GOOGLE Pros of Google: As a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information. For makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads. Google also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so. The relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results. Google has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines. Cons of Google: However, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides. Also, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos. Due to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush. Yahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker. http://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250
