to start an algorithm is a step by step method of achieving something.for example my morning algorithm is to wake up, brush teeth, etc...so what are searching for? are you creating a search engine?If you're creating a search engine you're going to be searching a database of stored information, or a web site.you don't say if you're search engine is online or offline.most will assume it's online.although I don't agree with the perl post. Perl is very good, but PHP (if you're doing this online) would be better.PHP was built from the ground up to serve the web, and because of this you'll have a much easier time with the ready made web functions available.if you're connecting to a db, I would use php and I would use sql algorithm to search the db for the input text.that's assuming that this is the way you're headed, but it should give you a better idea, I hope.
