Just to be clear: I don’t think the fact that people abuse centralized search engines as a name system is a problem for the paper’s argument; I think it’s a problem from a censorship-resistance viewpoint (and beyond GNUnet’s scope.) > GNS will work fine with search engines: once you've gotten > "search.gnu" in your zone, you will resolve links from the search > engine for say a search for "ludu" using "ludo.search.gnu", which > would go to Ludo's zone (where "Ludo's zone" is defined by the search > engine, which is fine --- you will get the Ludo corresponding to the > search result you clicked on). Now you’re proposing abusing the name system as a search engine. :-) > Now, we might not like people exposing their browsing habits like this from > a privacy perspective, but that's another story.

Perhaps we should push for Firefox’s address bar to behave exclusively as an address bar by default.
