I thought Wikimedia tried this once. Big announcement, then nothing. Is that code still available?

That was Wikia, not Wikimedia, but yes, the code is still available: - crawler: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub/ - search engine: http://nutch.apache.org/

If my memory serves me correctly so is it only the client part of grub that is open source. Without the server part on cannot use it to setup one’s own crawl.
