Good stuff, there's definitely a value in "local search", where local stands for "your own stuff". Pinboard can be used in a similar way (the paid version), but the difference is that's FTS only for pinned things.
Shameless plug, I'm attempting to do something similar specifically for science, but make those local results also available globally using a distributed network based on WebRTC. It's also a browser extension, which detects if you're on a page of a scientific article. If you are, it takes the body of the article and indexes it, by putting its contents into a DHT. You can then use the extension to search through this distributed network.
For those interested, the post back from June is available here: http://juretriglav.si/an-open-distributed-search-engine-for-science/ http://juretriglav.si/an-open-distributed-search-engine-for-... with the source code here: https://github.com/ScholarNinja/extension https://github.com/ScholarNinja/extension
The project will get a lot more love soon, as it turned out it was a bit too early back then because WebRTC implementations were buggy (since fixed in Chrome, but e.g. it resulted in 100% CPU usage in Chrome after a short while, gigabytes of memory used).
Anyway, best of luck making Fetching.io sustainable, flippyhead!
