Abstract

Krugle was one of the earliest commercial portals for searching open source software. This chapter reviews the history of Krugle from initial inception to present day. It follows the search engine from the initial public version to the enterprise offering, with a particular focus on lessons learned from design decisions on topics such as web crawling, indexing, system architecture, and deployment.
