DjangoGoogleSearch – ⓤ Unicoders – Trac
Integrate Google's Business Search with Django.
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)
Welcome to Hadoop!
Attempting to build an open-source clone of Google. Yes, you read that right.
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 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!
