I'm trying to build a meta search engine in Python, probably using Grok as a framework. Django seems a little more complicated than I need. My main problem is that I can't find any decent tutorials for Grok. It's own tutorial doesn't really explain anything. The way I intend it to work is:
User puts code into a search bar on a HTML page.
The search term is sent to a python script which will search 3 search engines
The results are posted back and sorted and scored using an aggregation algorithm
Results are then displayed to the user.
I have the HTML page generated with a form text field and a submit button. I want to set the form to send the information to the python script called app.py but don't know how to do this.
Also, what is the best way to get back search results from bing or yahoo etc? API's are the only option that I see but they are restrictive. My meta search is only going to be sending a handful of requests. Is there an alternative to API's?
Thank you!
