  This could be interesting. The infrastructure required to scrape the internet though is going to be so daunting. Google got to build it up slowly as the internet got bigger. Bing is backed by a huge corporation that already has data centers. A new non profit player is going to take a huge coordinated effort.

    I know P2P had become a dead buzzword, but what if people dedicated a portion of their computers to assisting an open search engine.

    I would wait 30s for accurate results. It could also piggyback on a search aggregator.
