Recently I found some awesome open source software that works as a peer-to-peer search engine. You can download and try out this software from YaCy.net, installing it on a Ubuntu system is very easy. To install on a Ubuntu server/desktop you will just need to add their repository line to your sources list and install using an "apt-get" command.
This software can be configured to run in a private or public cluster, and even run on a federated index using Apache Solr. So you have a choice if you would rather show results from your own private websites or contribute to a global distributed search engine.
Pretty cool 'eh?
