Saw a presentation by the greplin CTO last year (http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Distributed-Systems-What-Nobody-Told-You http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Distributed-Systems-What-...) - seemed like were ready to give search a "social side". Now all these millions (billions) of documents just to display "8.02pm sunset"? I'm a little surprised. Edit: After reading the blog post, I'm less surprised and can imagine where they are headed.
