My Personal Search-Engine

Conclusions

  Naturally, this overview is extremely brief. Many more details are obvious, and some difficult design work and then implementation has to be performed for the distributed fetching of pages. However, this has been done before.

The aim of this paper is to call for reconsideration of whether the current developments in search engines are leading us anywhere useful. Work-groups need to be formed to investigate details.
