You want to use something else and not make it from scratch (unless you 
insist). I made great experience with swish-e, see http://swish-e.org/
I let the indexer run on a cron job and wrapped the search display option in 
PHP scripts. You can get quite a bit of info and make the results look like 
those shown from web search sites. The nice thing is that swish-e even indexes 
PDFs and other text document files as long as it has a chance of reading them.
