A search engine is a lot of work and requires lots of back end code. I'd suggest python because it's easy to learn and can develop fast with it.

As I said though, a search engine is a monolithic project and will require a lot of learning in the realm of computer science (algorithms, data mining, possibly machine learning, ect.)

I'd suggest you take a look at some MIT OpenCourseware videos or iTunesU for free lectures on CS topics.
