Basically, a search engine plugin is a XML file describing the parameters of your SE. You can take a look at the DTD and do it yourselft, but there is a great tool to help you generate the plugin : mycroft.
We detail here the two main steps :
Christopher Einarsrud developed the interface we use on ifacesearch. The original flash based polaroid gallery is available on his website. We made some modifications on this excellent gallery to adapt it to our needs. We hope you can find here some tricks to adapt it to yours. The modified .fla source code is available here.
What we needed :
Basically we hacked through the code and most of the modifications took place in actions of frame 3. The code is not well documented as Christopher mentioned on this website. Anyway there are no major difficulties to understand it, even if you don’t speak norwegian.
It’s because of the cowboys ! But you already know that.
When you ask ifacesearch to look for faces, it asks two others cowboys, bing images and google images (Phase I). Those two cowboys gather a lot of suspicious people that might match your query (Phase II). Then our cowboys take a look at all those people, one after each other and gun all the not matching ones down (Phase III). That’s a tough job, but that’s the way we do it here. Just don’t mess with cowboys.
That’s why cowboy provide better results than other face search engines.
