I want create search engine like Google, which search engine should I use?

Question

I want create a search engine like google. Which search engine should I use? Does solr or elasticsearch suitable for that?

I knew that there are similar questions [Which third party search engine (free) should I use?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1932697/which-third-party-search-engine-free-should-i-use) [Which open-source search engine should be used?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1418372/which-open-source-search-engine-should-be-used),but I want create a search engine like google. we have different goal. That should be a new discussion. — Nick Dong, Aug 28 '12 at 07:19

Maybe Nutch is a good starting point. Especially because it includes crawling as well and uses Lucene. Lucene is also used in Solr and the newest version has the nice SolrCloud feature for easier scalability.

I would also suggest OpenSearchServer. The web crawler is mature. We use it to index thousand of web sites on a single instance.

The major point is that it includes the web crawler and the search engine in one single application. With the interface you can set up your data model, customize the relevance, manage the crawl process.
