Well maybe I.m a bit late but that let me try to summarize.
Searching can be implemented in two ways
Inserting metadata in some kind of in-freenet index
or
Meke up a net where metadata are shared and can be searched by asking server to do the
search for you
the first method is secure but allow only keyword searching (not only complete keyword
as I seem to understand from an issue on the freegle homesite, basically for the
keyword "word" you list it under 'wo' 'or' and 'rd') but its slow has little
flessibility and let you list very little metadata.
The second one is impossible unless you meka metadata readeble for nodes, so that they
can route your search, If searches could be made on hashed strings ie
if the hash of apple wold still be closest to the hash of aaaaa then to that of zzzzz
things cold be made a little more secure but not really, you'd have not a node storing
metadata on the same content only but a node operator could still be asked to ban the
hash of some words from it's datastore...
Well the first method seems much to heavy to be implemented for me, I hope that you
coders downthere can find a way to meke the second one (the server dependent one) as
secure as possible, at list enough to be implemented for non-china resident users.
Good bye
Michelee
