PHUSE
Google ripoff) that allows users to search a variety of PHP related
web sites.
From
The PHP Unified Search Engine was born from the idea
that there really wasn’t a good way to search a lot of the PHP
sites out there all at once. The concept was simple: create a web
application that would allow users, with the maximum amount of
simplicity, to search the content of several PHP sites all at once
- with each site offering their own unique contribution to the mix.The current sites (PHPDeveloper.org, PHPComplete.com,
EvilWalrus.com, Forums.Devnetwork.net, and PHPClasses.org.) each
have a script in their public directories that does most of the
work for this application. The scripts query their site’s MySQL
database (currently, they all run MySQL) using indexes and
full-text searching to create the resulting titles, links, content,
and relevance - all outputed in a nice XML result set.Now for the fun part - the scripts residing on the
Devnetwork.net servers go out with the search terms that the user
enters, grabs the XML that each site produces, parses it for the
information it contains, and drops it into a master list of
results. The output scripts then take that result, format it to
make it a bit more readable, and show it to you, the user.
