we did something like that back in 04-06.
search engine is a huge engineering and expensive project.
AdultKing, even if you get your queries time down to half it is still slow. At some point working on our SE project we decided to dump MYSQL and had written out own db engine which were way efficient than mysql. For instance 30mg db in mysql only weighted 1.4mg in our engine, querying was ridiculously fast in speed too no matter how huge database was due to our own indexing tech, we could show all results not up to 1000 like every other SE did and does.
Good memories and definitely great experience. Our development took ~1.5 years between myself and another programmer working 12-16hrs a day no weekends.
The project was wrapped up due to lack of financing, we got engine ready out of beta and were developing webmaster area for buying ads getting ready for marketing when it got stalled.
it was written in delphi/php.
