Access to the Web is universal and open, and so the mechanisms to search should be. We envision search as a basic service whose operation is controlled and maintained by the community itself. To that end we present an alpha version of what could become the platform of a distributed search engine fueled by the shared resources and collaboration of the community. date: 2009-04 event_title: 18th International World Wide Web Conference event_location: Madrid, Spain event_dates: April 20th-24th, 2009 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Pujol, Josep M and Rodriguez, Pablo (2009) Towards Distributed Social Search Engines.
