I am completely and totally *thrilled* that I have just found a new global search engine that has more advanced proximity search features than Google.

There's a lot of magic in names. The old lore is rich with it, and even many modern practices reflect that truth; for by names and images are all Powers awakened, and the beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.
This is a truth of the internet as well. You must know what you're searching for in order to find it.
My recent searches have been with one goal in mind: to find and index every active site (and in some cases valuable historic archives as well) in our community that doesn't completely skeeve me out. (For example, sites evangelizing the Coming War meme? Those skeeve me out.) In this search I have relied on many names, old and new, familiar and strange: Otherkin/Otherkind. Sayuneldi. Faeborn. Faeid. Invisus. Immortals. Inhumans. Nonhumans. Changelings. Fairth. Metahumans. Awakened. Angelkin. Elvenkin/Elvenkind. Dragonkin. Satyrkin. Faekin. Fairykin. Faerykin. Selar. Brightmoon. Aelveron. Elphame. Alorya. Krenar. Elenari. Draestari. Tulari. Listari. Adrastai. Endrastai. Andrastai. Konyrii. Brnnn. Incarnated Angels. Earth Angels. Starseeds. Starborn. Starpeople. Walkins. Wanderers. Draconity.
These are the names I know, some rare and strange and powerful tools for searching and others as common as crabgrass. What other names are there, that I might not know yet?

I'm looking for a tool, but I'm not quite sure where to find it. What I need is basically a focused webcrawler... I want a script, preferably php if possible, which I can give a particular seed url and a particular term to search for. From that seed url, it should traverse the site looking for off-site links which contain the search term somewhere in the linked page. Then it should repeat the process with those sites, and so on. The goal is basically to try to pick up sites that the major search engines might miss, if at all possible, while still maintaining a high signal to noise ratio. (ie, not pulling down spammy ad sites)
Anyone know of anything which behaves like this? I know I could sit down and try to write my own from the example snippets I can find of various spiders, but frankly I'm just not feeling that ambitious at this precise moment. I'd prefer something prefabbed that will do what I want out of the box.

Heh... some of the sites that bill themselves as teaching "advanced searching techniques" should be subject to a civil suit for false advertising. Of course, that's generally a redundant pair of terms...
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
