| Pretty damn powerful. The next level above this is a search index

| preferences, bc they would have _direct_ access to the DB index
| and features. People could wrote anti-ad plugins. There could be
| foss upgrades all the time. Nobody would have to spend a
| particularly crazy amount of money on storage if they could all
| just cache the bits they'd needed themselves. Quite remarkable
| imo!! Whatever ends Google search's reign, will probably be user-
| owned in a way that seems a lot like this..
