Hi to all,
I've tried to write this script myself, but am currently low in the experience of search algorithms, so thought i'd come on here to see if anyone fancies taking up this small project.
This would be easy enough to do if it was a simple enter keywords and return results job, but its not...
I have a form which has the following form fields:
Country (select box)
City (select box)
Number of days (text box)
Distance (text box)
Age group (select box)
The user can build their query using these form fields, and use as many or as little of them as desired.
Country, city and age group are exact values, which should return from the database any records which match the criteria exactly.
Number of days and distance are approximate values, which should return say, the most relevant records.
The script will also need to order the results in order of relevance.
Would anyone be interested in doing this script? I'd be happy to put credits on all the search results pages.. the directory in question is tipped by several magazines to become a national resource for hikers and campers over the coming year, so there's a big opportunity for publicity here.
Post here and i'll give you further details and FTP access over msn or something.
Cheers
