Find the right domain... thats all i know

If you were serious about the project expect to have to hire loads of programmers and spend millions on start up.

How to put it nicely?

If you don't know the answer to those questions, the project is doomed from the start.

Mind you, somebody may be along in the next day or so with the ideal answer.

I've done some research for you and i think i know the answer... Directory Submission. It seems to to make anything work

I think http://www.focalmedia.net/pseek.html as something of the sort.

The trick would be to find a unique method of indexing the web, Google uses Pagerank and other factors and algorithms they developed and no one elses uses. You need to find a unique way to display relevant accurate search results. A few million dollars in the bank account wouldn't hurt either.

I start makeing a search engine some months ago. I dedicate bit of time to develop it, but is not a easy way. The database perform is the key. I have some problems to perform some querys. You can visit the site at <a href=http://www.xumby.com/>Xumby Search</a>. I use MySQL 5 database.
Another key is the robot to surf the web, and how it make its work.
