No it would not be reasonably good compared to Google. It wouldn't even match what AltaVista used to be (given the relevance algorithms used in these products).

- mindcrime 14y agoNote that I said start with those projects, and not end with them. Of course it would take more work to get in the same category of relevance as Google. But the point was that a significant portion of the code needed to build an "open source search engine" exists. But, even if it all existed, the problem would still be hardware and bandwidth. You can't easily build a Google-like without some serious financial backing, even if everything is open source.
