Search should be the native feature of the Web itself (even if it's just basic), just like any other discovery protocol.
How would you suggest:
- this be done?
- site / source rankings be done (the real value of current search portals)?
- avoiding (or penalising) false indexing --- either including index terms not in the indexed document(s), or omitting significant terms (excluding stopwords)?
- updating indices with new content submissions or modifications? Particularly for simple / technologically primitive sites.
- access points to search for users of the system?
