What really needs to happen, is companies need to start thining diffrently.
"A company with 5,000 desktops will see its 3-year upgrade cost for Microsoft Office, for instance, jump from about $900,000 to $1.5 million, it says."
For 1.5million over 3 years this same company could hire 5 developers to hack on one of the Open Source Office suites.
Think of the advantages, not only would there be no future upgrade costs, but they would get a custom piece of software that exactly fits their needs.
What about a browser plug-in that indexes pages as you view them and submits the results to a centralized database (or decentralized if possible)? This would have the advantage of being able to index every page people go to. The database could even store more detailed information about pages that are more popular. Groups of people with special intrests could set up there own private index of the pages they visit. Individuals could even have private indexs of their history and bookmarks.

I don't know much about EEPROM but the points you brought up don't seem to make sense. maybe i miss understand.
1) slow to write shouldn't be a problem they only write new updates to the index once a day (or less).
2) and 100000 write cycles at once per day means they wouldn't have to change chips for another 270 years.
I guess what I am saying is that web indexing isn't very dynamic at all.

What are the chances of a separate development group using gecko to build a decent alternative to IE on windows?
Are there any examples of this already?
Isn't there a gecko ActiveX control? Is there a way to allow IE users to view your HTML pages using the gecko ActiveX control?
