We consider the problem of building a P2P-based search engine for massive document collections. We describe a prototype system called ODISSEA (Open DIStributed Search Engine Architecture) that is currently under development in our group. ODISSEA provides a highly distributed global indexing and query execution service that can be used for content residing inside or outside of a P2P network. ODISSEA is different from many other approaches to P2P search in that it assumes a two-tier search engine architecture and a global index structure distributed over the network. We give an
