[Search-l] Coop - Custom search engine

[Jeremie Miller]

Unfortunately nothing this project is doing with it's Nutch/Lucene  
index, the grub ARC files, or with KT (the Hbase instance that stores  
all the user contributions) will ever really support private  
information, since it's all publicly available in either open APIs or  
for raw access ( http://soap.grub.org/arcs/ http://re.search.wikia.com/downloads/kt/ 
  http://search.isc.org/download/ ).

It's possible to still build personalized search tools with  
transparency, but not private ones.
