  1. @bob On truly open Web search, the following seem useful:

    • A standard site-indexing protocol for sites to serve their own indices.
    • An auditing mechanism to discourage index-stuffing.
    • An index-distribution mechanism. Something similar to DNS or #Squid #WebProxy #CacheAndForward mechanisms, say.
    • A provenance trace aspect (source vs. copy).
    • A #reputation component. Actually, several of these are likely useful, some automated similar to PageRank, some manual like various DNSBLs, with local / shared tweaks available.
