[Trisquel-users] Re : client side search engine?

The client-server model (now marketed as "cloud computing") is the simplest  
one and the first tried for every problem. It does not mean it is the only  
one. Not even that it is the best one. Even if it is used as the sole option  
for decades.

Take file sharing as an example. FTP was published as RFC 114 on 16 April  
1971 (thank you Wikipedia). More than 28 years (June 1999), Napster was born  
and it became clear that P2P was a more efficient way (in terms of bandwidth  
at least) to distribute files.
