[Search-l] Coop - Custom search engine

[Jeremie Miller]

A really really exciting step is happening in the current index- 
building process right now, Dennis is busy adding support for external  
scripts in Nutch's processing of the content for adding custom fields  
to the index during the MapReduce phases... what this means is that  
anyone can start contributing simple/small scripts in any language to  
extend the index (for example marking any urls matching a regex or  
list with X and then search filtering on X), making building tools  
like this incredibly easier.

It might take some time to get all the kinks worked out, but I think  
we're talking weeks here, maybe a few more to get a new custom-field  
index rolled out, so it's definitely in the near future :)
