Sorry if this is off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone saw this:

It seems like a pretty compelling solution for most specialized search
engines for a very reasonable price. It's a clever way for a big
search engine to capitalize on the growing number of niche search
engines. I guess they figured if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

The only thing is that I'm not sure how flexible it is. If you do lots
of custom semantic analysis, I'm not sure you can with AWPS. Maybe
it's possible to just download all the data you want, and then do
all your processing offline. Maybe in this case, you would still end
up using Nutch/Lucene to do your custom indexing?
