my god, you may have inadvertently had a great idea. There's a lot of cool things that could open up. For instance, i believe right now it is not kosher to scrape google results. However an open source distributed engine would be totally kosher.
Search results could potentially be more relevant... there would be millions of computers instead of hundreds of thousands. people could play with ranking algorithms... this is a cool thought.
- mmcconnell1618 15y agoI thought it was a cool idea too. Lack of control means manipulation of rankings might be a problem to solve. You would need to ensure that spammers couldn't flood the system with fake information.
- clistctrl 15y agoMaybe its possible to use that to the networks advantage? If manipulating the data means you need to provide additional computation power/storage... maybe its possible to find a balance?
- mmcconnell1618 15y agoI would be interesting to use multiple random parties to check each other. For example, have 3 independent nodes index the same site and verify that no one has tampered with the data.
