Nutch: An Open Source Search Engine 291
Anonymous Coward writes "Someone forwarded me this site working to create an open source search engine called Nutch.
In the age of weighted rankings on search engines for profits, there's an obvious need for an unbiased search engine. After all, isn't a search engine supposed to be for finding relevant data, not as an indirect and sometimes slimy method of advertising?
Nutch is clearly in their intial stages, but it would certainly get my vote." You can find the project on SF.net, and also read the Business 2.0 article on it.
