Sorry if this is off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone saw this:
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,69817,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_2 http://websearch.alexa.com/welcome.html 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?
