    How does that work, does it go out and start indexing the internet for you?

      It’s a meta search engine. It queries other search engines and compiles you results.

        That’s a shame, It would be more interesting to run your own crawlers.

        (Yes I realise that would be computationally intense and hard, but it would nonetheless be cool)

          There is probably a neat wget oneliner that could crawl everything on the open web. The real challenge is how to index all the information. That might be a neat Perl oneliner.
