This is a drawback to putting everything in the cloud: features will be weighed by the CPU cycles and storage required by the providers. Can't wait til we come full circle and get back to client/server computing ;). I'm only half joking. I actually can't wait until things mature enough so we have a hybrid of both models. Then I can decide just how much stuff I want indexed and also not worry what happens when my cable modem flakes out.
