Grub it out!

Fed up with Google? No? I know it is very good but have you noticed that the results have become more and more commercial over the past few years?
Grub.org was launched earlier this year and it is a network based distributive search engine - like the SETI project it uses your PC (not Mac unfortunatly) when you are not.
I like this idea so am running the software at home and trying to support it in a little way - you never know, if there are enough people (100k+) running the software it could become very very good.
