I want to build a simple search engine, which can search external websites and webpages.
However, I do not need the function of searching inside my webside, or the codes link to other search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. I just want to build my own independent search engine, althought it is not as powerful as major ones. Anyway, it can serve for me and my friends.
The language should be HTML, VBscript/Jscript/Javascript, ASP.
Thank you.

You will be able to find a script already written, take a look at http://www.aspin.com/home/tutorial/searchen to get you started

I've done that before.
you need a good server oriented language to pull up these web pages, and follow the links, and build the database index.
then a web based program to query the database and show the pages that match.
hardly an easy task.
Much easier would be to put some cool links on your web page with your special searches, and using existing search engines.
