The MozDex open source search engine

Over the past week MozDex, an open source search engine, has been tweaking and refining its search results while in beta testing.

MozDex is the brainchild of Byron Miller and is built on an Open search system using different open source technologies. MozDex plans on full indexing of the Internet in the next upcoming weeks.

Mozdex.com offers the firsts OPEN search system based on publicly available software, APIs and algorithms, said Byron Miller, President at Small Productions. There is no secrecy into understanding the results or ranking thereof offering the first public insight into an open index.

What does Open Search Mean?
Searching the Internet has always been something people just did without ever wondering how it worked. Mozdex.com offers the insight into the search results that allow people to fully understand how they are ranked and displayed.

The test index itself is seeded from the dmoz.org directory, Netscape’s open source volunteer edited directory. However, MozDex - being a true search engine- is building its own index and allows web site users to submit via an Add Url form.

Adding to the Open Source buffet that MozDex is powered from, mozDex also uses Nutch open source search engine and archive.org spider technologies to power its search.
