The Gnutella folks have come up with InfraSearch, a way to use Gnutella as a search engine aggregator...sorta. Infrasearch passes a query to any of the participating clients, whether they are search engines or websites, and displays their responses. The mechanism by which all the responses are sorted is still pretty beta. However, if cocoon had a local search that it could respond to the InfraSearch queries with, it would be instantly part of the Stefano Knowledge Web. Then we could leave it to the Infrasearch folks to work out how to sort Cocoon site responses. I still don't know where to find the local Cocoon search piece. Maybe DAML or IBM. -Steve
