Comment It's not the search engine-just the content engine (Score 1) 60
GO is not open sourcing their search engine. In fact, they don't even really own the rights to their own search engine any more - Ultraseek was sold to Inktomi. (See http://www.ultraseek.com)
What they are open sourcing is the content management software used for sites like Mr.Showbiz and ESPN.com and a few particular parts of the GO.com portal. Most of the GO.com portal is still built on an arcane, completely propreitary system, that could never feasibly be open-sourced!
