It doesn't have to provide content descriptions to make them usable, is my
point. You can have a search engine search content without knowing what
that content is or what you're searching for. That's what the bloom filters
give you.
The way I was originally doing it was to double-hash the keywords, then send
the single-hash of the keywords around the network, having each client with
content hash it once more, then compare the results. (The double-hash was so
people storing stuff locally wouldn't be able to look at the search requests
and fake a "yes" answer, basically, or something like that. I'm not sure I
remember the details.) The problem with this is you have to actually spell
the keyword exactly right, which is kind of messy for full text searches.

I saw that program. The start of the documentation made no sense until you
got down to the rationale.
