Sure, let's discuss the process of building this project from scratch.

1. **Project Planning and Requirements Gathering**:


- Before starting any project, it's essential to have a clear understanding of
the requirements. In this case, the goal seems to be building a simple search
engine web application.
- Gather requirements such as search functionality, history tracking, and web
crawling/indexing capabilities.

2. **Choosing Technologies**:
- Decide on the technologies to be used. Based on the project requirements, Java
seems to be the primary programming language, with JSP (JavaServer Pages) and
Servlets for building web interfaces and handling server-side logic.
- JSoup is chosen for web scraping and parsing HTML content.
- MySQL is selected as the database management system for storing web page data
and search history.

3. **Setting Up Development Environment**:


- Install necessary tools and software such as IntelliJ IDEA for Java
development, MySQL Workbench for database management, and Apache Tomcat as the web
server.

4. **Creating Project Structure**:


- Start by creating a new Java project in IntelliJ IDEA.
- Organize the project into packages based on functionality, such as
`org.example` for web crawling, `com.Accio` for servlets and database-related
classes, etc.

5. **Implementing Web Crawling**:


- Start with implementing the web crawling functionality using JSoup.
- Create a `Crawler` class responsible for visiting web pages, extracting text,
and identifying links for further crawling.
- Use DFS (Depth-First Search) algorithm to traverse the web pages up to a
certain depth (defined by `MAX_DEPTH`).

6. **Implementing Indexing**:
- Develop an `Indexer` class to index the crawled web pages.
- Extract title, URL, and text content from each web page.
- Store the extracted data in the database using JDBC (Java Database
Connectivity).

7. **Setting Up Database**:
- Create a MySQL database named `searchengineapp`.
- Design tables to store web page data (`pages`) and search history (`history`).

8. **Implementing Database Connection**:


- Create a `DatabaseConnection` class to manage database connections using JDBC.
- Establish a connection to the MySQL database and provide methods to retrieve
the connection object.

9. **Building Web Interface**:


- Develop JSP pages (`index.jsp`, `search.jsp`, `history.jsp`) for user
interaction.
- Design forms for searching and viewing search history.
- Use HTML forms to collect user input and submit it to servlets for processing.

10. **Implementing Servlets**:


- Create servlets (`Search`, `History`) to handle user requests and perform
backend operations.
- Parse user input, execute database queries, and retrieve search results or
history data.
- Forward the results to corresponding JSP pages for rendering.

11. **Testing and Debugging**:


- Test each component of the application to ensure they function as expected.
- Debug any issues or errors encountered during testing.
- Perform integration testing to ensure all parts of the application work
together seamlessly.

12. **Deployment**:
- Once the application is thoroughly tested, deploy it to a web server (e.g.,
Apache Tomcat).
- Ensure that the server environment meets all necessary requirements for
running the application.
- Monitor the application for any issues post-deployment and address them
promptly.

By following these steps, you can successfully build a simple search engine web
application like the one described in the project. Each step involves careful
planning, implementation, and testing to ensure the final product meets the desired
requirements and functions correctly.
