Right you are. Centralised search seems a bit silly to me. Take object orientedism and apply it to search and you get a thing where each node searches itself when asked... apply this to a local-focussed topology (ie spider web serch out) and utilise intelligent caching (so search the localised caches first) and you get a better thing, no?
Why not do it like that? Or am I limited in my thinking about this?
