Abstract:
This research creates and develops an English search engine generator
application for a website. This application is useful for a website developer or
internet user who wants to create a search engine for their website. The appearance
and search factors of this search engine can be customized.
This application collects retrieved web pages from a website by the crawler
function, then web pages are indexed by the indexer function. The database is a
MySQL® database. PHP files, which are used to implement the search engine, are
created. Users can customize the crawler, the indexer and the appearance of the
search engine.
A precision search depends on four ranks: WordRank, PageRank,
Weighted PageRank and Users’ Feedback Ranking Score. In this research, testing
was conducted to find the optimal weights of these four ranks.
This research successfully develops a search engine generator for a
website, which has adjustable search factors and appearance. The evaluation of the
application by internet users resulted in a satisfactory system assessment. The
search results comparisons with Google, the existing popular search engine, were
at a satisfactory level
