Hey, any of you guys played around with this?:

The basic idea is to merge bittorrent style P2P with search engine
technology. So every person doing web searches contributes a little to
the expansion of the search capabilities of the entire system.

Here is an example of the search engine running on a 50 computer
cluster: http://141.52.175.50:8080/index.html. Of course, the ideal is
that you are supposed to set it up on your own machine.

I found a deb repository for this: I'll probably try installing it on my
home machine.
