    Just as an aside, it's high time there was a serious effort at producing a decent open source search. Personally, I think a distributed network with anonymizing services makes the most sense. I know there are projects in existence already, but more people will have to become aware of them. Some Open Source search projects are:

    http://www.aspseek.org/about.html//

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ebiness//

    http://www.grub.org/html/documents.php//

    http://lucene.apache.org/nutch/bot.html//

    I really want to see one of these projects take off, I'd tap a vein at the local plasma center to donate funds :>

    Just in time for Microsoft's search engine to take over. Beautiful.

    I highly doubt it. If something is going to take over it'll be something like free, open source aspseek.

  7. Open Source Search engines... by Traicovn · · Score: 1 · on Open Source More Expensive In the Long Run?

    We had to do that here at the university I work at a few months ago, implement a NEW university wide search engine... Lots of people kept saying things like 'use google', however the free for universities version of google didn't give us the features we needed. We tried multiple pieces of software and finally settled on AspSeek. So far it's been able to hold up to what we've put it through. We haven't really tried to customize it however... Without knowing exactly what you are trying to do it's hard to know how it would hold up. We also tried MnogoSearch (it's worth taking a look at, but we had lots of problems with it). We were originally on ht://dig, but moved away from it due to multiple reasons...
    If your doing a large scale (over 50k) site search engine, or a multiple site search engine with a database and webcrawler, I wish you luck... there isn't much support out there and the options are few... I hope perhaps the ones that I mention are some help to you.

  8. ASPSeek worked well for me.. by maeglin · · Score: 5, Informative · on Open Source Analog to Microsoft's Index Server?

    I had about 2GB of documentation dumped onto me for a project. The documentation had no visible structure nor any place to really start tackling it so I decided to just index it all. The documentation was on my Windows2000 machine and I put ASPSeek (a GPL'd search engine that no one seems to know about) on one of my Linux workstations. I used pdftotext and word2txt as filters and let it chew through the documentation. The results were good enough that, when I left the project and shut down the ASPSeek interface, it took about 15 minutes before someone (who already had it all indexed on his Windows2000 workstation) was at my desk trying to get me to turn it back on.

  9. ASPseek by AnteTempore · · Score: 1 · on Google's Search Appliance

    I have been using ASPseek for some time. The search results are remarkably similar to Googles. If you want a libre alternative to Google for your own sites, ASPseek is probably the way to go.

    This guy is right - the workaround for the problem has been about for a while. For more information on the problem take a look at the Via Hardware FAQ. The whole via problem has been known about for sometime (a search on Kernel Traffic for KT133 turned up a few references. The most recent reference was 2.4 Kernel freezes on VIA KT133.

    As mentioned in other comments, motherboard makers were encouraged to workaround this at bios level.

  11. Re:Err - patent fight on the horizon? by k001 · · Score: 1 · on Google To Gain a Rival?

    I'm a developer of ASPSeek - GPLed search engine that implements Google's page rank. So far Google is ignorant about ASPSeek, although some people (from JabberSearch.org) call ASPSeek "google-in-a-box".

  12. What RMS wrote about that by k001 · · Score: 1 · on Hiring Open Source Developers for Closed Source Work?
    I'm a developer of ASPSeek search engine, which is available under GNU GPL, but recently my bosses decided that I'd better work on their half-free half-nonfree solution. I do appreciate the idea of free software, believe that software should be free, and don't want to work on non-free software. But the problem is I should support my family (wife and tho children) and bosses strongly offer me to switch to that project that should be profitable more than ASPSeek, partly because of its closeness. So I wrote to RMS asking what does he thinks about that. Here's his answer:

    Subject: Re: please give me advice about free software
    Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 12:58:53 -0600 (MDT)
    From: Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>
    To: kir@asplinux.ru

    I personally don't work
    implementing non-free software as long as I can do it without
    sacrificing living conditions for me and my family (wife and
    two children), and I told that to my bosses. I decided to
    work on only free parts, but it seems that is not quite possible,
    they can't guarantee it.

    There is a strange assumption underlying what you have said. Why do
    you need them to "guarantee" that you won't work on non-free software?
    They can't force you. Ultimately it is your decision. The question
    is whether you have the strength to say no.

    People respect strength and often have contempt for weakness. If they
    know that you won't work on non-free software, if they know that
    trying to make you do so means making you leave, chances are they will
    try hard to avoid that, and have you keep working on free software as
    long as they can. But if they know that, at the final moment, you
    will accept a non-free software job, they will have no strong reason
    to hesitate to tell you to work on one.

    If you do take a stand, be sure to tell people. Then it will
    do more good.

    So, this is what he wrote. Sorry to say, guys, I agreed to work on non-free software, but I did this without excitement. Probably I just don't strong enough. :(
