p2p search engine [Let's brain storm!]

[Isaac]

There's a few of them out there. They're all experimental, but I would love for this kind of search engine to get perfected.

If I were to build a new p2p search engine I'd do it a little differently.

1. Anyone could start new search indexes and users can use multiple indexes at once.
2. Anyone could add to the indexes, but, by default, search rank will be based on how many people keep the entry in their index, until the user changes how his system ranks entires.
3. Each index would be torrented in order to be updated.
4. The search is done on your computer.
5. Completely downloading the index file won't be required, however, the more you download the more you can seach.

If I had more time I migth try making this.
