Of course :)

That's strange. What URIs were you after?
Those of requests in transit and inserts. Because of the "island-like" nature of freenet publishing, traditional spidering won't get very far; you can't seed a search engine with a few sites and assume that you will find the entire network by following links. Monitoring requests and inserts musters the collective URI knowledge of one's peers and of their peers, so it could go a long way, especially if you can put together a mesh of URI-grabbing nodes in different places.
The thing is, the lack of search capabilities reduces the useability of freenet and, indirectly, compromises anonymity too. I can publish stuff anonymously all I want but, unless I post a URL somewhere, nobody is going to find my publications. And conversely, if I'm looking for a piece of information that might well be on freenet, I won't find it without asking. Especially for someone who's new to freenet and doesn't already have a set of bookmarks and starting points, the threshold for getting anywhere is pretty high despite the proxy bookmarks. A non-anonymous search engine on the web could solve part of both these problems and at the same time function as an invitation to freenet for non-freenet users.

It does know the requests that pass through the node. Last night, all of freenet for me was the few URIs that are published on freenetproject.org. This morning I had a whole long list in my logs, and through that I was able to start finding my way around. That's how this idea of a search engine popped up and turned into a small project in itself.
Most of these would go through freenet.client... some might go through freenet.node.states.FCP, and there are a few internal ones.
I'll look. I'm grateful for any tips you might have.
