I disagree. Most small companies don't have an IT staff capable of implementing a custom search engine using Lucene for less than $5,000. Nutch might make this possible, but compared to a plug-in-and-go solution like the Google mini, it still would probably cost a significant amount of money. Getting Lucene/Nutch to the point where it is possible to easily install it on a computer and administrate its settings in a user-friendly way is a great goal, though. Regards, Luke Francl
