Dave has an interesting point, and I thought others on the list might know
if this has been implemented.

Subject: Interesting discussion on Hack the Planet
I just read an interesting post by Robb Beale on Wes Felter's site. He asks:
"OK. How is distributed real-time search different from the JIT search stuff
Dave (Winer) spec'd out like 50 web years ago?"

I had to blink and read that twice and ponder it for a moment and realized
Robb has a point.
What we proposed two years ago, that no search engine other than our own has
adopted is a very simple idea.
When a page changes, the new content of the page is squirted up to the
search engine and indexed immediately.
I called this a JIT-SE, for Just In Time Search Engine.
I wonder if this is ever going to get implemented by anyone else. It's all
done with XML-RPC, of course.
Here's the DaveNet piece (1996) where I first floated the idea..
