Grub powers Wikia Search

[incrediBILL]

The fact that Wikia bought Grub this year was a pretty good clue but now that they've launched Wikia it was easy to tie the crawl to the search results.

Wikia uses GRUB running out of swlabs.org to get their index:
149.20.54.195 “Grub/2.0 (Grub.org crawler; [grub.org...] ; [e-mail])”

Anyone spot them operating from anywhere else?

Identical IP.

149.20.54.195 - - [11/Dec/2007:**:**:** +0100] "GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" 200 **** "-" "Grub/2.0 (Grub.org crawler; http[i]:[/i]//www.grub.org[i]/[/i]; [e-mail])"

Ditto here. All from the swlabs IP. I don't think that the Search Wikia people really appreciate the high regard in which Grub is held throughout the web. It is probably one of the most banned UAs after Nutch.
