In fact there's already a few search related projects listed there:

The opposite actually, it's very clear that a distributed approach is  
the best way of going about much of this, so I totally agree.   I'm  
really hoping that once we get some momentum behind standard ways for  
these distributed resources to communicate, many or all of the  
projects listed above would all be willing to adopt and interop with  
each other.

Unfortunately, from the quick scan of all those listed, they seem to  
be either dead or closed/commercial... is anyone here involved with  
any of those listed?
