#5I love it - well done.
As always, the question is how it scales.

#6Is this supposed to be a joke? I can't tell. The index is certainly extremely limited.

#7I searched for "Cnn" and got 0 results. I searched for "Amazon" and got a five random results, including the IMDB page for "Rambo, Part 2."
If this were really like AltaVista, I'd get 3 trillion results and have to use advanced Boolean logic to cut that down to the most useful 7,000 - so I guess having no results is sort of easier...

The challenge is not building the search engine, it’s in building the index.
That’s why google wants every drop of data

#10Kudos for your courage to make your great ambitions public from the start.
1. Does the site do any crawling on its own, or is the public index only fed from submissions?
2. It appears Umlaut/Unicode handling needs some work: When I search for "Käse" (German for 'cheese'), I get the response "0 results for 'Käse' in 'www' (0 ms)".
At this point I'm not sure if there's actually 0 results or if it was actually searching for the escaped string.
