Alexa Crawler turned into web search service Amazon back to its innovative best

Quote:Amazon is opening up its Alexa search data and tools to the world! Will this make Amazon a major search player? According to John, Alexa has about 5 billion documents in its index, which is about 100 terabytes of data. With this move anyone will be able to use Alexa's index to develop their own services.

Called the Alexa Web Search Platform, it will be available to use for quite reasonable fees...

Alexa is releasing the Alexa Web Search Platform Beta (websearch.alexa.com), effectively opening up the Alexa Web Crawl and ushering in a new era where anybody can create new search services without having to invest millions of dollars in crawl, storage, processing, search and server technology."
