[Search-l] Coop - Custom search engine

[Ashkan Karbasfrooshan]

http://www.MetaMojo.com

Built on Nutch.  Basically what you guys are trying to accomplish, I think.

*MetaMojo.com at its core is a domain-specific vertical search engine,
returning best of breed publishers for a given topic*, look at the high
quality results, for example, in travel or health:

Travel - Paris
http://metamojo.com/results.php?query=paris&cat=5

Health - Prostate Cancer
http://metamojo.com/results.php?query=prostate+cancer&cat=8

If anyone is interested, we can create mirror search engines, that you can
customize at will.

If interested, email me.

thanks

Ash
