The core search engine will be based on Exalead 's search engine. Exalead has been founded by the guys who developped Altavista's "Live Topics" feature and have a strong background in search technologies. As of today their engine just reached the 3 billion pages milestone, and is still growing. They also provide some nice features like the NEAR operator, clean clustering and even phonetic search. Worth a try !
Actually there IS a real search engine behind Quaero. It is called Exalead and their Web search engine has just reached the 3 billion pages milestone (they claim to have 4 billion by the end of January). They provide some quite interesting features like dynamic clustering (topics, countries and language), a NEAR search operator, phonetic search and even regular expression searches (try searching for/.ic..s.ft/... crosswords players are gonna love this feature:p)
Definitely worth a try
