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.
