The mistake is that semantic search engines present us with Google-like search box and allow us to enter free form queries. So we type the things that we are used to asking - primitive queries. It never occurs to us to type in What actor starred in both Pulp Fiction and Saturday Night Fever? or What two US Senators received donations from a foreign entity? We type simple questions, but this is not where the power of semantic search lies. Lets look at the spectrum of semantic technologies from Google, to SearchMonkey, to Powerset, and Freebase to understand what is going on.
NutchWAX ("Nutch + Web Archive eXtensions" ) searches web archive collections. The Web Archive eXtensions (WAX) include adaptation of the Nutch fetcher step to go against web archives rather than crawl the open net -- adaptation currently does Internet Archive ARC files only -- and plugins to add extra fields to the index that return an Archive Records' location in the repository, its collection name, etc.
