I'd like to learn how to build a search engine from scratch, but the responses to my Google queries are littered with tutorials explaining how to get better responses from existing web engines.

Does anyone know any good tutorials or articles discussing search engine development?

What do you intend to be able to search? The entire web? Your own website? The documents on your corporate network?

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

I need to search a set of documents and a subdomain of an existing site. Ideally, whatever I build will be able to search a mix of html, doc, xls, and ppt files.

take a look at www.freshmeat.net

http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=searc...ction=projects

or

www.sourceforge.net

The community of developers there either have a start for you with source code or they may be interested in building with you.
