Gigablast (founded in 2000 by Matt Wells) announced [0] about open-sourcing their engine under the Apache version 2 license at July 30. The engine is written in mixture of C and C++ and counts more than 500,000 lines of code, see the Github page [1]. Some facts about the engine: The code compiles into a single executable file which can scale on thousands servers. It is easily configurable and has a nice documentation [2]. The code is very stable, it works in production since 2002. Document processing is done using plugins, so you can write a plugin for any type of documents. --- I would like to see a search engine based on this in the dark-nets, particularly in I2P.
