creating a website with a specific search function?

Question

Hello, I am looking to start up a business, it will be entirely web based so I need a good website. I need to do an idea whereby people would click on a picture of an item they had, they would do this multiple times and then a search would provide something which only could be done with all these items. The things i am going to be doing it with are very complicated, but you could think of it like a recipe. The consumer would select each item of food they had and the search would provide them with a recipe that consisted of only those items. I need to know how easy something like this would be to achieve and if you know of any 'template websites' that offer this, where i could simply slot in my specifications. I am willing to work for it, so if anyone could link me with any videos that could allow me to do this i would be extremely grateful! Thanks!

Search is probably an over simplified description of your function, realistically you would probably need to show partial matches with a "your ingredients are 85% of what is needed" results you could also express as "To complete this recipe you would need $1.56 in additional ingredients, standard store packaging quantities may cost about $4.50."

Giving near matches would give some results where otherwise people might see Zero Results the majority of times.

This sounds like a good idea, it would require custom database and logic coding, perhaps a bit of AI (artificial intelligence) I suggest you do more research of similar existing technologies so you can write a reasonable complete requirement spec. for programmers at freelance marketplaces to bid on, there are a number of oversees programmers you can get for relatively little money, I hear there are a lot of accomplished coders in Russia and East Europe.

You could advertise for programmers at sites like vworker.com, elance.com pr odesk.com, those with positive feedback histories are safer investments.



The picture clicking interface is really more of a cosmetic packaging, it may be hard to depict some ingredients with a picture, you would have every spice package pictured.



Being able to fill in and store their kitchen inventory, which gets saved in a personalized database, would probably be needed so they only have to tell you once what they have on hand.

It is "known as" a search field. However what it is "fabricated from" is an text field and a put up button. In HTML, these are factors, one being an and the opposite being an . To make them work, you additionally need to give every input aspect a unique name, and put them inside a element. On this detail, you must supply it instructional materials what to do when anybody clicks on that submit button, like This motion then calls one more software, which is "searchImages.Php" on this instance, and it can be in this inner software that does the actual action, which would be to look a database for images after which return the quest outcome in an HTML page for the user. If that each one sounds somewhat an excessive amount of, then search google without cost photo search engines like google and spot if there is one different folks will will let you use.
