Thanks #*$!xxx,

I have been thinking about this idea for years and about 4 months ago began to put all the ideas together and making them work.

My whole goal was to make an engine that doesn't use much server resources so only a few people can run it easily but mostly give the user what they want and give it to them now and fast.

All this feedback is helping a ton and helped me find alot of small bugs and flaws in my design. The engine may or may not compete with the big engines one day, but it does manage spam way better than the big engines do.

If it does well, I will have to monetize it somehow to pay for the overhead. A contextual PPC model is simple enough to create but I would like to ride out the free results as long as possible.

Once I get the whole system on a cluster of servers I may even try getting a contract with other ISP's to provide search for them. That would pay for the overhead and keep the results clean with no ad's.

I definately want to keep the engine private because I seen what happened to google when they went public. It became all about the money and they forgot about the little guy. Getting rich is great but it's not everything. Helping others is everything.
