[Search-l] Using Grid Computing for Wikia Project

[Gérard Dupont]

Your proposal is feasible : using user and community experience in order to
improve te relevance of query results. It has already proved to be reliable
in information filtering application. However, two main concern will tends
to make me think that it will be hard to make it works well. First the users
don't like to be under surveillance of their behavior or interests. That's
not a technical limitation but if we want to make the search engine popular,
a particular explanation has to be correctly build in order to explain that
the engine won"t be a spyware. Then, technically, a "full" peer to peer
architecture has many drawbacks which will be hard to tackle : long time
before answering and ever partial view of the wwWeb.
There is no limitation at all, and I like the idea, I just wanted to point
some difficulties.
