There needs to be a public service for internet search!
- Proven 6y agoWho could say no to an Obamacare portal-like search engine!?
- EricE 6y agoWe need a decentralized search just like DNS is a central service, but not centrally managed (OK, mostly not centrally managed). How about each web site indexing their own contents and then there being a mechanism for your client to crawl the indexes, just like a DNS resolver will query servers until it finds the answer it wants. My iPhone is leaps and bounds more powerful than desktops of a decade ago - there is zero reason to pool power in data centers. Indeed it would be impractical for Google to replicate the power of all the clients worldwide in a data center.
