It doesn't (strictly) need to have centralized search; you can passively collect info from the DHT swarm and build up an index over time of torrents people are sharing.
It's not as convenient as something like napster or the like, but we've also got this draft <http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0051.html http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0051.html> to make it a bit better.

I found ~4 DB dumps and merging scripts are all you need to get up and running.
