Folks: So here is the newest Nutch/Lucene-based search engine. We initially started development in March of last year from scratch, but after 3 months swapped the indexing engine in favor of Nutch.
This project would have never gotten on a fast (or faster) track if it were not for the Nutch/Lucene community. I'd like to thank you all and in particular: - Doug & Michael, for the totally AMAZING Lucene and Nutch. - Otis and Erik for the much needed and wonderfully written "Lucene in Action". It's a must-have. - Matt, Stefan, Andrzej, Antonio, Luke, Sven and all the others for documentation on the wiki, answering questions and submitting patches. Some of you may not realize how many sleepless nights you saved us by asking/answering a question or sending in a bug fix. So what is Filangy -- you can get that from here www.filangy.com. I'll save all of you who are interested in technology the marketing mumbo-jumbo. It would be greatly appreciated if I could get your feedback. Here's a link to signup: http://www.filangy.com/new_user.jsp?code=uuOlArrlOYFli-iF-l As we had written a lot of the code and then added Nutch we continued on parallel paths -- which made Nutch more or less a plugin by itself. Over the coming weeks we plan to move a lot of the overlapping code into Nutch (either as a patch or plugin). Most of the changes/enhancements we made are related to the following areas: - Improving fetch/crawl quality - Ranking - Distribution and Scalability - Frequent Indexing/Re-indexing If after playing with the product anyone has any specific questions or would like to know more about a particular area -- please feel free to send me an email. There are no secrets if it relates to Nutch core or additions. Thank you CC ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
