a query and you could get a set of answers pertaining to your
queries.<br>
The source for answering these queries not being one but many,
like <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://askubuntu.com">askubuntu.com</a>,
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://askfedora.com">askfedora.com</a>,
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ubuntuforums.com">ubuntuforums.com</a>
etc.<br>
More generally what I am talking of is to pool in resources from
the net and then as a "search engine" of sorts to answer the
doubts of a newbie to open and free software. It would greatly
reduce time for such a person to get accustomed to the knowhow of
Linux.<br>
I know that this sounds against mailing list culture, but if we
can make some mini-search app for FOSS queries I feel it would be
welcoming to the newcomer.<br>
Also if someone is willing to mentor me upon this in creating such
an app, i would gladly be willing to do so.<br>

It may be too late to answer this, but everyone, including Google
came to the conclusion that the default Google search is the best
for the purpose.<br>
<br>
Cause at one time, Google too had search engines for certain
specific purposes, like for Linux, for government issues etc... but
it was also filtering out results which had the answer.<br>
