GASP! Is there Open Source Search Engine?



Question:
Is there Open Source Search Engine?

Quote:
"Search is interesting again,' says Doug Cutting, a founder and core project manager at Nutch. Cutting, whose development chops were honed at Xerox (XRX) PARC, Excite and Apple (AAPL), is building Nutch (that's his toddler's all-purpose word for 'meal') with a small team of engineers based around the country. But Cutting says they hope that once Nutch is loosed on the world, tinkerers from Romania to China to Palo Alto will help build it into a robust platform, in the spirit of Linux or Apache (which has garnered more than 60 percent of the Web-server software market in just the last couple of years)."
