139<p>Nutch is a nascent effort to implement an open-source web search
140engine.</p>
141</span><span class="bodytext">

143</span><span class="bodytext">
144<p>Web search is a basic requirement for internet navigation, yet the
145number of web search engines is decreasing. Today's oligopoly could
146soon be a monopoly, with a single company controlling nearly all web
147search for its commercial gain.  That would not be good for users of
148the internet.</p>
149</span><span class="bodytext">
150
151</span><span class="bodytext">
152<p>Nutch provides a transparent alternative to commercial web search
153engines.  Only open source search results can be fully trusted to be
154without bias.  (Or at least their bias is public.)  All existing major
155search engines have proprietary ranking formulas, and will not explain
156why a given page ranks as it does.  Additionally, some search engines
157determine which sites to index based on payments, rather than on the
158merits of the sites themselves.  Nutch, on the other hand, has nothing
159to hide and no motive to bias its results or its crawler in any way
160other than to try to give each user the best results possible.</p>
161</span><span class="bodytext">
162
163</span><span class="bodytext">
164<p>Nutch aims to enable anyone to easily and cost-effectively deploy a
165world-class web search engine.  This is a substantial challenge.  To
166succeed, Nutch software must be able to:</p>
167</span><span class="bodytext">
168</span><span class="bodytext">
169<ul>
170 
171<li>fetch several billion pages per month</li>
172 
173<li>maintain an index of these pages</li>
174 
175<li>search that index up to 1000 times per second</li>
176 
177<li>provide very high quality search results</li>
178 
179<li>operate at minimal cost</li>
180
181</ul>
182</span><span class="bodytext">
183
184</span><span class="bodytext">
185<p>This is a challenging proposition.  If you believe in the merits of
186this project, please help out, either as a <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/">developer</a> or with a <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html">donation</a>
