Whoosh

Pure-Python search engine. Looks like a great idea if you need something simple and don't want to mess with an external service.

LocalSolr | GIS Search

A Solr addon for doing geographic searches. Must investigate further.

Official Google Mac Blog: Search Without Effort: The Quick Search Box

This is what the creator of QuickSilver has been working on at Google. Pretty rudimentary right now, but I'm excited to see where it goes.

RSeek.org R-project Search Engine

DjangoGoogleSearch – ⓤ Unicoders – Trac

Integrate Google's Business Search with Django.

(django, google, search)

Kayak Search API (beta) - Kayak.com

Wow, Kayak (one of my favorite travel search sites) has an API, and a RESTful one to boot! Limited to 40 queries/hour, but still sweet.

FAST - Enterprise Search

A commercial search-engine provider about which I've heard good things. Judging by the fact that the web site doesn't provide pricing information, I'd guess that it's expensive — if you have to ask, you don't want to know. Still worth a look, I think.

Xapian: Theoretical Background

Some good notes on how relevancy algorithms actually work. Must read through this in more detail.

ack — a grep replacement that ignores .svn/CVS/blib directories, understands file types, uses Perl regexes, and much more

Whoa, this is *so* much better than grep it's not even funny.

CPS Project: NXLucene

Another Lucene-based web service tool (this one based on Plone)

(code, indexing, java, lucene, pycon2007, python, search)

Welcome to Hadoop!

Attempting to build an open-source clone of Google. Yes, you read that right.

(apache, google, lucene, pycon2007, search)

Welcome to Solr

Lucene as a search server. XML/JSON APIs, web administration interface. Java servlets (yech), but probably a lot easier than PyLucene.

Merquery Summer of Code Results - brian's blog

Brian's writeup on his SoC project (that I'm mentoring). Hopefully he'll get around to the TODOs in the next week :)

Extending Django's database API to include full-text search (Mercurytide)

A kick-ass look at how to extend Django's lookup API with custom methods. This one adds fulltext search in a particularly nifty way.

A9.com > OpenSearch

Well now… I've got to take a look at this.

Google Video Search

One word: wow.

(google, search, video)

Google Suggest

No one noticed, but Google now puts out some of the best Javascript on the web. I have *got* to figure out how this works!
