Spider as Search engine?
Hi,

A couple of questions about the spider:

1. Can you tell me if the spider / links SQL combination could be used create a search engine? ie. the links directory 'only' contains spidered links? What I'm thinking is of a linksSQL directory that technically has no categories(?) but it also has a searh box which users can search with and return any matching spidered results, spanning accross various pages. If not, perhaps you could offer another suggestion? I'm running a unix based server.

2. can you limit the spider to search only limited domain suffixes? ie. if i wanted to only spider sites in new zealand can it only search on '.nz' domains, or if I only wanted to spider school web sites in new zealand can I limit it to spidering sites with '.school.nz' suffixs.
