1) opennic.project.org==opennic.glue.  Anyone can map the same site to multiple domains.
2) grep.geek and search.geek are the search engines for OpenNic domains.
3) They don't crawl alt-root TLDs because they can't resolve them.  If you try to ping mountain.dew, you probably will not get an answer.  That doesn't mean the site doesn't exist somewhere in the world, it just means your computer doesn't know where to look for the answer.  The public search engines aren't going to waste their time crawling sites that only a very small number of people can actually reach.
4) Yes we could build an all-encompassing search engine, but this would require a server farm and a massive amount of storage space to index the entire web.  A more practical approach would be having a way to allow the opennic search engines to include results from google in your search.

Does any one have examples of:
1) opennic domains with IANA extensions being indexed by whatever searchengine? (specific details welcome!)
2) opennic domains with non-IANA extensions (indeed like .ing, .bbs, .geek, .glue) being indexed by whatever search engine? (specific details welcome!)

Thank you for examples!!!

I GUESS the outcome will be: yes, ad 1): couple of examples being indexed, 2) no, non-IANA extensions are never indexed, by none of the 1000+ search engines of this world.

than my question
3) would be: any idea why non-IANA extensions are never indexed despite hyperlinks? Do really all webcrawlers contain programming lines saying 'if this URL has non-IANA extension, leave it and don't index'?

and
4) can we build (from open source of course) an opennic search engine that indexes ALL extensions (if enough hyperlinked), whether IANA or non-IANA?

Thanks!

But for now.... why just don't add simple temporary ICANN URL redirection feature, which gives ability to use domain as a primary domain for people who can't host it yet but would like to propagate the idea of alternative domain names. 

I'm sorry... What?

You might want to look into the OpenNIC proxies that resolve opennic
URI's, and are on an ICANN domain.. There's a few of 'em floating
around, take a look.
