[Tutor] writing a search engine

[Kyle Babich]

Any suggestions on where to start?  I plan on writing one for a small
site of mine.  It will basically be "google-style"- simple and
functional.  The item being searched will be text files, where users can
search based on title, contents, or both.  I was reading through some
books but I'm stumped on where to begin.  I've never tried writing
something even similar to a search engine and I guess I'm little
confused/overwhelmed/bewildered.  :)  You guys always come to the rescue
for me, so how about one more time?
