You're misusing the word anarchism, it has a definition. That's exactly
like saying you're an atheist because you aren't Christian. Which people do

That said, P2P search could definitely work. If everyone used it, and it
was federated in some way. Distributed and essentially P2P mechanisms are
how the big search engines are powered on the backend in the first place.
I'm saying that an individual's home PC isn't capable of indexing the web
alone, or holding the index if it could, much less effectively searching it.
