Can a search index of post content be decentralized yet reliable and fast?
Is the index the right place to slice the problem?
Is a centralized search service the only practical solution?
I agree search is essential, and at present the search available in amethyst is great but unpredictable.
If we start indexing the web based clients will get negative score by the crawlers for "duplicate content". This will be something very interesting to watch and a b..ch to solve. Whichever client gets notes indexed first will get positive score and each client after that negative score.
