I will definitely try this in my home-lab! And for the name, what about "Historex" (although already taken as well) o "Histearch", mesh-up of "history" and "search"?

You have a point on this, I recognize, but it still seems a very thin line to walk (for X) - at least morally, because I don't think they are actually loosing real big money to anyone.
