Creating a Search Engine

Hi I am doing my final year in Computer Science Engineering. So I and my friends thought creating a search engine might be a really kewl project for our final year and all... So we started going through the net for resources only to find out that many of the technology was industry oriented and not research oriented.

After some digging we were able to find some ACM papers on very specific sections in a search engine, but we quickly understood that for doing any new contribution to them we needed a good knowledge of the basics.

The first and most complete work published in this region was the paper by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, the first generation google search engine. Really it wasn't very inspiring actually it made us realize that the whole stuff was one complex piece of code .. seemed quite impossible actually to make a full scale search which was efficient and all. Well we'll see about that later. Wish us best of luck ... we would really need it ....
