This past semester for a Computer Architecture class I was taking, we were assigned a project to implement a distributed search engine using Nutch. The following notes describe the installation procedure for installing and configuring Nutch as a distributed search engine on Windows XP using Cygwin (a Linux emulator) and Apache Tomcat. Note that the master computer was running Windows XP while the slave machines were running Mac OS X, showing that the search engine works across multiple platforms.
