Search engine

Hello, my friend has a request, that I need help from you guys too

Uhmm, he wants to make a search engine in vb, that searches the inputted text, w/o opening a browser. Just searching from a database.

And P.S. that is offline(net isnt needed)

So is this possible?

Google API.

Nextgen released a OpenSource Project for it.

+ Flame/XScapism made an awesome search engine for VBOTW once.

I'm disappointed in Hassan. He did not even use multithreads.

Thanks for the reply

1st, can you give me the link for the open source, and is it an offline searcher?

2nd, what VBOTW was that?

Thanks

That's using the google API (online web searching). Depends what you wanna search offline, could you tell us? /

You cannot make a offline searcher. Where should it get the information from?

You can neither connect to a database offline, unless it's local.

VBOTW = Visual Basic Of The Week

Uhm I cbf to search, see if you can find it in tutorial section

He made a translator.

Ahh thank you, it's refreshing to be told the rules by a person whose had his accounts banned more times than anyone else on this forum

But yeah, you have a point. I've been getting offtopic a lot lately haha, just end up having random convos with people in the forum

Hmmm, is a local search engine possible offline?

Depends what you mean by search engine. If you mean search for webpages while you're offline then it's pretty difficult, if not actually impossible. However a search within your computer is quite possible, so which one is it?

Well, my friend cleared it up a little bit.

He said to make a serach engine throught a database that gives information, not the extract webpage

ie, if i type "mpgh", all information bout mpgh will apear.

So is this possible?

Umm, if you have the database stored on the computer then yes you can access it without the internet. Obviously you can't access a database on a website without the internet.
