Just speaking for me personally, I'd be a fan of trying ideas like that. The potential danger would be that some code could introduce latency or other things that would make the search experience worse instead of better.
- amichail 16y agoThere are huge risks with this approach, but there's also a lot of potential. Search could look quite different. It would be an ideal place to experiment with and profit from novel search ideas. For example, third party developers may experiment with query-induced flash mobs where people who just performed a similar query could collaborate in real-time to find the information they need. Finding ways to prevent such an ecosystem from descending into absolute chaos would be a fascinating challenge.

- jrockway 16y agoIt seems more likely that the average developer would introduce latency when searching through a database of billions of text documents than when making an application that makes a fart sound when you press a button. Just sayin'.
