Yahoo and IBM Join Forces to create OmniFind

Yahoo and IBM have joined up to create OmniFind a free entry level enterprise search appliance. The app runs on Linux or Windows and sports a nifty API (REST based, returns results in ATOM format).

The software, called IBM OmniFind Yahoo Edition, has been designed to be simple to install and use, and can index up to 500,000 documents from more than 200 file types, like Adobe Systems' PDF and Microsoft's Word and Excel.
