  Description     :Open-source web search engine.

Nutch provides a transparent alternative to commercial web search
engines. Only open source search results can be fully trusted to be
without bias. (Or at least their bias is public.) All existing major
search engines have proprietary ranking formulas, and will not explain
why a given page ranks as it does. Additionally, some search engines
determine which sites to index based on payments, rather than on the
merits of the sites themselves. Nutch, on the other hand, has nothing to
hide and no motive to bias its results or its crawler in any way other
than to try to give each user the best results possible.
