Dear Sir, Thank you for your suggestion. But I was looking for a small tutorial of algorithm of the whole engine. I would try to check it build individual modules and integrate them. I was getting some in google and youtube, but I tried to consult you as I do not know whether they would be fine. I am trying your way, let me see how much I go. There are so many search algorithms in our popular data structure books, that is not an issue but how a search engine is getting done, I am thinking bit on that.
