Efficient Peer-to-Peer Keyword Searching
Patrick Reynolds, Amin M. Vahdat · 2007
The recent file storage applications built on top of peer-to-peer distributed hash tables lack search capabilities. We believe that search is an important part of any document publication system. To that end, we have designed and analyzed a distributed search engine based on a distributed hash table. Our simulation results predict that our search engine can answer an average query in under one second, using under one kilobyte of bandwidth.
