We have digitized over 5 terabytes of old newspapers. All of them have been converted from image to text (OCR). We would like to create a website - a simple search engine that would enable us to search for a keyword or two which would return a list of relevant PDF files. Similar to [login to view URL] or [login to view URL] but much more simpler. Please do not bid if you do not completely understand the project. Also, I don't want to buy dtSearch or any 3rd party software in order to index the files. I would like to develop a way of indexing the PDF files from my own code. Perhaps storing the text in a mySQL database and searching the text that way would work? Then display the relevant PDF file in the results? I'd love to hear your ideas but I am really only looking for a simple solution to accomplish the task at this time. No design is needed and I would greatly prefer the code to be written in PHP if possible. Thanks!

Hi ! I work with search engine for the last 15 years. I think I see what is your project and what you need. I think first, even it's something you will not like, you can't do a search engine for 5 To only with mysql & php. I'm sure of that. I think the limit is around 1Go of data / 1M of document if you want a response < 10s. In the best case. With a heavy process of splitting word, that slow the index process. I understand you don't want to pay to 3rd party software. I agree too. Don't. I think the best choice is something around Lucene. You have several option around Lucene, but may be for your project I think Apache SolR can be a good option, with php around to custom output. Then you have pdf file. Solr (or others) need a textual version. So if don't already have it, you have to find to a solution like fantomjs or the good old pdftotext. I will be happy to speak with you about theses choices, Have a good day.
