    Of course you can!

    You just need to come up with formulas for recognizing the importance of pages vs. other pages promising similar information, you need to write a crawler, you need extensive processing and data storage resources, you need to write the information to parse the information in these databases, and present them in a timely matter.

    Not really a big deal at all! Google parses a measly 20 petabytes a day (or at least in 2008 according to this: http://techcrunch.com/2008/01/09/goo...y-and-growing/). Obviously that's about 20,000 of the typical "large" hard drives these days :)
