I too have though about this and have successfully set up a search 
engine
to index OpenNIC sites, unfortunately, it uses so much of my servers
resources, I can't run it!

The system I have been trying is Yacy, a p2p search engine which seems
really nice in so many ways, but uses Java and sucks the life out of my
server!

I'm still experimenting with it to see if I can get it to behave, but I
think my little V.P.S. is just too small and under powered :-(
