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.
