[Search-l] call to action....

[Sami M]

Hi Folks,



I've been following this list with interest. Internet search is my passion
and I'd been following it since 1998 starting with some projects in grad
school.



I'd been working on a prototype of a large scale search engine the last 2
years. This has been done mostly moonlighting nights and weekends except for
the last three months when I left my day job to work on it fulltime. In
summary… I've built a working implementation of the original Google
prototype according to their Stanford paper all pushing approximately 60K
lines of mostly C code. It is scalable on a cluster of commodity linux boxes
with some additional work. A single server in this case can crawl, index,
and serve 50M documents.



It is turning out to be a big task and now I am looking out for options on
what direction to take next. This is a call to action. I am open to any
suggestions or feedback. If anyone is interested in joining hands,
collaborating, or investing in any sort of way I'd be interested in talking
about it. I am based in San Francisco bayarea.



Cheers..



Sami
