So would it be fair to say that effectively Faroo works by:
1. Scanning your browser cache for the sites you visit.
2. Setting a ranking to the sites in your browser cache, based on how frequently you visit the site.
3. Merging this site + ranking information with other Faroo users in a search index.
4. Distributing the search index in a distributed way, perhaps all nodes only having a fraction of the total index to prevent storage issues.
If that's a simplified version of what is happening then I could see it working. If I've misunderstood something let me know.
