Google receives more than 200 million search queries a day, more than half of which come from outside the United States. Peak traffic hours to google.com are between 6 a.m. and noon PST, when more than 2,000 search queries are answered a second.

I dont think a CFC based solution, based on top of a java platform would be ideal for that amount of load :) like someone else said you would need a very large cluster of servers running custom operating systems and running native machine code, not a virtual machine language like java / CF.

If you just want to index your own site try looking into the verity search engine that comes with CF or Apache Lucene as an alternative:

Somone did tell me you can acutally buy a google box that runs the google indexing software to index your own sites. they would look very pretty in your rack by the look of them:

Hi
Best of luck,
best advice would be to start with the right hardware in place,
before you write the software go out and buy 90,000 servers and a hell of a lot of server racks to put them all on.
