Create your own Search Engine like Google

 Create you own Search Engine like Google

In this project, we will create a search engine like google in python shell using google search package. The program will take a search input from the user and then it will display some result snippets. The result snippet include Title of the website and the url of that page. The program will display 6 results, but you can change the number of results to be shown on the first page.

The program is using 3 python packages to show the result. First one is requests, second is bs4 and the last module is google. You can install these packages using the commands :

• pip install requests
• pip install bs4 
• pip install google

Once, you have installed all the three packages, let's start creating the program.

The program is basically using two sets of code. First one is to get the results and second one is to get the title of each page. To understand this program, you should have basic knowledge of:

1. Installing packages
2. Modules in Python
3. For loop in Python
4. Define function()

Code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
try :
    from googlesearch import search

except:
    print("First install google module using command 'pip install google'")

def mainSearch():
    sqr = input("Search: ")
    print("Showing 6 results from the web")
    results(sqr)

def results(query):
    for j in search(query, tld="co.in",num=6, stop=6, pause=2):
        print("-"*100)
        url = str(j)
        reqs = requests.get(url)
        soup = BeautifulSoup(reqs.text, 'html.parser')
        for title in soup.find_all('title'):
            print("Title: ",title.get_text())
        print("Url: ",url)

mainSearch()

The output will be like this:
