Search is part of the fundamental infrastructure of the Internet. And, it is currently broken.

Why is it broken? It is broken for the same reason that proprietary software is always broken: lack of freedom, lack of community, lack of accountability, lack of transparency. Here, we will start to change all that.

Grub started back in 2000 with a simple concept of distributing part of the search process pipeline: crawling. In a way, we were a bit ahead of our time, but our intention then was what it is now. We want to help fix search.

Now, with the help of community members and Open Source developers our time has come again. Come be part of something greater. Come help us change the World.

Future of Grub

First, I want apologize for lack of informations and progress in project within last month. As you probably know, Wikia stop project Wikia Search. This unfortunately, affect in some way Grub (and Internet Open Index) too. Because main role of Wikia in Grub was sponsoring of servers, at this moment, our project lost (or soon lose) most of servers. So, there been following changes:
- all our servers been merged on one machine (dispatch, upload and website servers)
- development of project been moved to Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/grubng
