Monitter is a real time twitter search tool that enables you to monitor a set of keywords on twitter. It also allows you to narrow the search to a particular geographic location, allowing you to find out what’s going onin a particular part of the world.
What is being proposed is out-and-out censorship and doctoring of search engine results through the use of blacklists and whitelists:
The blacklist is of websites accused of infringement. These sites will never appear in search results. That's the whole site, not just the pages from the site with infringing content. And this is not a court process, it's a notification system allowing studios to tell search engines directly who the bad guys are.
A white-list of "approved" online music and film services will be artificially promoted for music/film oriented searches.
Automatic index updates: Indexes are updated automatically when files in the corresponding folders are modified, even when DocFetcher isn't running. This is done via a daemon that waits in the background and watches all indexed folders. The daemon has very low CPU usage, because, rather than indexing files itself, it only remembers which indexes need to be updated the next time DocFetcher is launched.
A portable version: Runs on both Windows and Linux. You can put all your documents in it and then freely move the entire folder around (i.e., DocFetcher + indexes + documents). Possible destinations include other computers, encrypted volumes (TrueCrypt), CD-ROMs and USB drives. The portable version can also be used for sharing an indexed document repository across a local area network, or across the OS'ses of a Windows/Linux dual boot system.
Detection of HTML pairs, e.g. "foo.htm" and a folder named "foo_files". Each pair will be treated as a single document. This feature may seem rather useless on first sight, but it turned out that this dramatically increases the quality of the search results when you're searching for HTML files, since all the "clutter" inside the HTML folders disappears from the results.
Search in source code files: The file extensions by which DocFetcher recognizes plain text and HTML files can be fully customized. Therefore you can use DocFetcher to search in any kind of source code.
Unicode support: DocFetcher comes with rock-solid Unicode support for MS Office, OpenOffice.org, PDF and HTML files. There's no Unicode support for plain text, RTF and CHM yet, but we're working on that.
"Not much mail" is what Notmuch thinks about your email collection. Even if you receive 12000 messages per month or have on the order of millions of messages that you've been saving for decades. Regardless, Notmuch will be able to quickly search all of it. It's just plain not much mail.
"Not much mail" is also what you should have in your inbox at any time. Notmuch gives you what you need, (tags and fast search), so that you can keep your inbox tamed and focus on what really matters in your life, (which is surely not email).
Notmuch is an answer to Sup. Sup is a very good email program written by William Morgan (and others) and is the direct inspiration for Notmuch. Notmuch began as an effort to rewrite performance-critical pieces of Sup in C rather than ruby. From there, it grew into a separate project. One significant contribution Notmuch makes compared to Sup is the separation of the indexer/searcher from the user interface. (Notmuch provides a library interface so that its indexing/searching/tagging features can be integrated into any email program.)
Notmuch is not much of an email program. It doesn't receive messages (no POP or IMAP suport). It doesn't send messages (no mail composer, no network code at all). And for what it does do (email search) that work is provided by an external library, Xapian. So if Notmuch provides no user interface and Xapian does all the heavy lifting, then what's left here? Not much.
"Terrier is a highly flexible, efficient, and effective open source search engine, readily deployable on large-scale collections of documents. Terrier implements state-of-the-art indexing and retrieval functionalities, and provides an ideal platform for the rapid development and evaluation of large-scale retrieval applications.
Terrier is open source, and is a comprehensive, flexible and transparent platform for research and experimentation in text retrieval. Research can easily be carried out on standard TREC and CLEF test collections."

Recoll is a personal full text search tool for Unix/Linux.
It is based on the very strong Xapian back-end, for which it provides a feature-rich yet easy to use front-end with a Qt graphical interface.
Recoll is free, open source, and licensed under the GPL. The current version is 1.15.8 (Release notes).
Features:
Easy installation, few dependancies. No database daemon, web server, desktop environment or exotic language necessary.
Will run on most Unix-based systems
Qt 4 GUI. (Older releases can use Qt 3).
Searches most common document types, emails and their attachments. Transparently handles decompression (gzip, bzip2).
Powerful query facilities, with boolean searches, phrases, proximity, wildcards, filter on file types and directory tree.
Multi-language and multi-character set with Unicode based internals.
(more detail)
Recoll can index an MS-Word document stored as an attachment to an e-mail message inside a Thunderbird folder archived in a Zip file (and more...). It will also let you open a copy of the file without any fuss. There is little that will remain hidden on your disk :)
Veign not only provides first class service website design / development and application development to its clients, but also offers free software, a developers section, and lots of information. Located in South Carolina the time is right for Veign.
