There's a thread on another list I'm on, with regards to the recent google stories on the register, about open source search engines. Has anyone had any experience of any? I notice theres a few about, but none I've heard of.
Can you point me to that thread please?
afraid not, the archive isn't available due to a major troll incident a while back (do a google on 'ian gomeche' if you want the gory details. He's an ex-norwich resident too). I could post (privately since there are quite a few) the erm...posts if you like, after I ask permission from the writers...
This sounds interesting, but I can't find good material on it. A lot of the p2p search engine suggestions I've seen aren't really p2p at all, but client-server with clients sending back more information than normal.
The thread was more of a 'wouldn't it be cool...' and the political side of it, so it may not help much.
