Abstract
Most Internet search engines are built on a centralised
design, and will therefore not cope with the expected
future growth in information and query volume.
A distributed approach to Internet resource discovery
seems necessary. Many distributed designs have been proposed, but their scaleability is largely unknown.
We propose a distributed design based on the use of
classified metadata, which can be proven to be extremely
scaleable, and has interesting fault-tolerant properties. We
will show the principles of this design, called the Content-
Sensitive Infrastructure (CSI), and demonstrate its properties through formal analysis and simulation.
