Cubit, A P2P Search Tool
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Cornell University has come up with an Azureus Plugin called “Cubit” that I think is one of the first such that will give the ability for it to handle “decentralized approximate keyword search capabilities”.
This means that Azureus users would be able to search torrents currently available on the network. This *could* be the first sign of a shift from tracker sites like The Pirate Bay. Of course, there’s still a lot of work to be done on it and as yet, it’s only available as an Azureus plugin.
After taking a brief look at the description of their approach, I’m wondering if the Cubit technology or the ideas behind it could be used to make a real search possible in Freenet?
