No, you were just querying the wrong index, PM me for details
10 years ago I put together a search engine to index specific sites and information, just as a wee test to see what would happen. Within 2 months I had indexed over 2 million pages and moved it all to a dedicated server in London.
The hit count was huge and I couldn't figure out why but some investigation showed that the word had spread throughout universities and colleges that my search engine was better than Google for turning up the results that they were looking for.
Encouraged by this I did the same thing for companies both for searching internal and external data and make a few quid in the process. Competing with the big guys is a waste of time but there are niche markets and money to be made.
I suspect you're hanging around waiting for someone to buy the technology but in my opinion a distributed model is just not as efficient as the way the successful guys do it.
I hope it works but if was gonna be a goer it would have done so by now.

if they're big and you're small, then you're mobile and they're slow. You're hidden and they're exposed. You only fight battles you know you can win. That's the way the Vietcong did it. You capture their weapons and you use them against them the next time.

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
