title: Towards Distributed Social Search Engines
creator: Pujol, Josep M
creator: Rodriguez, Pablo
description: We describe a distributed social search engine build upon open-source tools aiming to help the community to {\em take back the Search}. Access to the Web is universal and open, and so the mechanisms to search should be. We envision search as a basic service whose operation is controlled and maintained by the community itself. To that end we present an alpha version of what could become the platform of a distributed search engine fueled by the shared resources and collaboration of the community.
