I like the idea and ran a node for a year or so, but the truth is I never used it to actually search - the results were astoundingly bad 80% of the time.
The rest of the time they were just about ok and I'd find what I wanted on the 2nd/3rd page.
It was a good way to throw up some left-field results though, and for that reason it's worth keeping a node going if you can. Might get it up on the new VPS.
