Nutch: An Open Source Search Engine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-will-it-matter dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Someone forwarded me this site working to create an open source search engine called Nutch. In the age of weighted rankings on search engines for profits, there's an obvious need for an unbiased search engine. After all, isn't a search engine supposed to be for finding relevant data, not as an indirect and sometimes slimy method of advertising? Nutch is clearly in their intial stages, but it would certainly get my vote." You can find the project on SF.net, and also read the Business 2.0 article on it.

    My biggest concern is that the developers will simply be in a scramble patching up exploits, instead of actually making their technology better.

    I was in the other room jerking it, then I thought "Hey, it would be kind of funny to say 'dip my nuts in it'(as my nuts were coated in lotion) on Slashdot"
    So I finish off, then turn on the interweb, and sure enough, I was first.

    My life is complete.

  7. Nutch? Sounds like a gay sex act to me! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Seriously, this sounds like the next "craze" to sweep the gay comunity...right up there with stuffing life animals up their filthy rectums.

    "Nutching", adv., to "nutch.": A disgusting sex act hereupon a male regurgitates days old feces - which he has previously ingested from his partners anus - and liberally smerars it on his partner's face.

    So there you have it.

    The only thing I see anytime soon will be a search engine that doesn't take bribes and has some way to ensure they never will. Google does, I don't know what slashdotters are on, but it took my boss 2hrs on the web to find out how to buy a higher rank for $200 "subject to their review of the site". Maybe if I get bored I'll pull it up myself later and link it... don't count on it though, I'm a lazy SOB AND have a new Sword of Truth book to finish.
