The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) want to build Google-style custom search engines for spooks, or as they phrase it… “domain-specific indexing of web content [with] domain-specific search capabilities”. Might be nice if they could also invite worthy non-profits like JURN to park up on their uber-servers for free, with maybe 10,000 domain URLs to play with — compared to the 5,000 URL limit Google places on its CSEs.
