I plan on making a site like kayak.com I plan to use an aggregator to pull content from different sites, these variables will be mostly location, equity, and what industry.

what would be the best programming language to search my database?

Hi TehEpidemick

I don't think that you will need to build up your own database... kayak is an affiliate of hotel.de - hotel.de offers a XML interface to their database.

Just to say kayak itself offers a affiliate program aswell if you know swodoo you might notice, that in the upper right corner there is the logo of kayak...

Oh no the site will simply look like kayak. It is in a completely different industry
 
Learn python , or you can try php. Also, use amazon web services for storing and especially for the databases.
 
i looked into python and actually tried installing but it is almost impossible to get it working on windows
 
Depending on the content/information in your DB you might want to look into the lucene search engine from apache...

Developing python applications on linux is a breeze - You can develop in a vm or go for a dual boot... Check out: https://www.virtualbox.org/ or http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer

btw. there are also implementations of lucene in python

Kayak has access to a special and expensive database. They don't simply scrape websites. With that said, flight prices/information changes by the minute. Unless you plan on storing historical prices to compare to current prices, I'm not sure if a database is even very necessary. With that said, you may want to decide what database software to use before you even decide on the language. PHP + MySQL would be the easiest solution to get started, but not necessarily the best.
 
Right its not flight related, or travel related, or anything else. It simply pulls from many sites and I need to organize and display to a user based on his search parameters.

Developing on python in a vm might be a good idea. Would python better serve my purposes than php?
 
I would say Python over PHP for sure, or even better check out Ruby.
