I hadn't heard of Metacrawler.com, I'll have to check that one out. Is it possible to use a 'homemade' search engine to search the net? I have seen alot of shtml tags that you can use to search the web but they usually link up to another search engine already on the net.

Google Inc. is experimenting with a new feature that enables the users of its online search engine to see all of their past search requests and results, creating a computer peephole that could prove as embarrassing as it is helpful.
Activating Google's "My Search History" service, unveiled Wednesday afternoon at labs.google.com..., requires users to create a personal login with a password. Users of Google's e-mail, discussion groups and answer services can simply use their existing log-ins....
But privacy rights expert Pam Dixon is worried the service will make it easier for mischief makers, snoops and perhaps even the government to get their hands on a user's entire search history.
"It's really a bad idea," said Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum. "If you need to keep track of your past searches, I recommend using a notebook. It would be a lot more private and a lot less risky."
