    I had some good domains so i thought of opening a search engine

    you know the whole 9 yards...spiders..crawlers...indexers

    Now im not sure if this is a good line of biz
    And also are there any scripts that can be used to make a standalone search engine

    i dont want a script dependant on 3rd party engines, if anyone can recommend a script it would be great!

    also is this line profitable?
    How do i make money in it? ( i know feeatured listing is a choice...anyother? )

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Software is going to cost $XX,XXX if not $XXX,XXX and expect to have 100 or more high-end dedicated servers. I used to have the software bookmarked, but cant seem to find it now. I think it was the same software snap.com was built on (indexing / crawling).
