I wasn't sure where in this thread to reply so I'm replying to myself :)
What search appliances exist now?
I only found 3:
[1] Google
[2] Thunderstone

[3] IndexEngines (not out yet)
http://www.indexengines.com/
------
Also, out of curiosity, do people have appliance h/w vendors they like?
These guys seem like they have nice options for pretty colors:

This reminds me, has anyone every discussed something similar:
- rackmount server ( or for coolness factor, that mini mac)
- web i/f for config/control
- of course the server would have the following s/w:
-- web server
-- lucene / nutch
Part of the work here I think is having a decent web i/f to configure
the thing and to customize the L&F of the search results.

Hi,
I was searching using google and just found that there was a new
feature called "google mini". Initially I thought it was another free
service for small companies. Then I realized that it costs quite some
money ($4,995) for the hardware and software. (I guess the proprietary
software costs a whole lot more than actual hardware.)
The "nice" feature is that, you can only index up to 50,000 documents
with this price. If you need to index more, sorry, send in the
check...
It seems to me that any small biz will be ripped off if they install
this google mini thing, compared to using Lucene to implement a easy
to use search software, which could search up to whatever number of
documents you could image.
I hope the lucene project could get exposed more to the enterprise so
that people know that they have not only cheaper but more importantly,
BETTER alternatives.
