Actually, the benefit is the storage and the ability to search hundreds of gigabytes, even terabytes of result data from the index.

And I don’t like the idea to disturb one of the best internet service with a great team behind.

The point here is that Google doesn't always cache the body of the web page, but will always cache the title. Hence, when we present results for any given word, we present them in both areas. The ideas is that should we ever feel like closing the PoC, Google will continue to remember :). No not at all, everyone sees the same content.

So all you do is generate the hashes as google requests the page. The only problem with it is, I don't know: 1) how far Google is willing to crawl: a search for "site:www.nth-dimension.org.uk" reveals some 7K results for the domain name. 2) Poking around in the URL, it looks like they only have about 2400 words (change the startline value) 3) There's one that is more methodical: http://reverse.me.uk/, but a search for that domain reveals a measily 49 results... so somehow Google will stop early if it all looks the same? I'm not sure. 4) I've tried to make my own, just for the fun of it. My blog is searchable by google, so hopefully there'll be more than 49 results... we'll see?
