Have a look at www.shopwiser.com

The back-end crawls web sites and then loads the data into a zcatalog.  The
front-end enables users to search the zcatalog and displays/formats the
results.  This is an in-house project which was developed using dtml,
scripts and external methods (ie. its not a 'product').

So the short answer is 'yes, it can be done! (and has been many times i am
sure)'.
