Nearly all the raw material to run a fairly complex Internet search service is now available, for lease, from online retailer Amazon.com Inc.
For a fee of as little as $1 a day, Amazon will provide access to an index of 5 billion Web pages plus the Internet-based tools to create new twists to mine the information warehouse and present findings to an audience.
At the core of Amazon's latest move is a rather novel idea for Internet search, Amazon believes. But it's based on an old business model whereby a company builds a product for other companies to buy or lease, develop further, then brand as their own.
