Abstract Commercial search engines provide a quality service at no cost to
consumers thanks to embedded targeted marketing. Despite this,
I argue there are still reasons why an open source effort should
be encouraged in the community:
as part of broader open publishing initiatives,
to allow quality subject specific search engines to develop, and
``because we can,'' because search is one of the great grand challenge
problems and we, the research community, cannot join in without
an accessible, non-proprietary system. This talk outlines
arguments and discusses some of the new technology that
could go into such a system, as well as the infrastructure that
would be required to make it work. [Edit]
