Why write your own when you can create a custom Google search for just you site, or when you could use already existing scripts? Creating your own would be a waste of time. You simply could not make one as efficient as pre-existing ones without investing a lot of time.
To become an professional web developer, it's always wise to use pre-existing libraries to maximize efficiency.
Using google's search still relies on Google indexing all your pages.Quote:

But does not index all the pages it crawls (only has about half his pages index. even if he get new pages index quite quickly)Quote:

When you use a Google Custom Search it does...which is what I have suggested.

Which in returns cost money if you want it to index more then 50 pages.Quote:

Which pre-existing libraries do you recommend? as reinventing wheels is not a good thing 8)Quote:
