CobWEBs Daily Edition: A single search index – a solution we’ll never see

Welcome to another week of the daily edition of CobWEBs, the flagship podcast of The Cynical Bastards!
For those who don’t remember from the other episodes, this is a new format for the show as we are going to try giving you daily bite sized chunks of our patented brand of cynicism over everything in the tech universe. The show will have a rotating host schedule between Steven Hodson, Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins and myself. You’ll always get two of us, you just never know which two!
Steven and I have a short discussion about file conversion, and how it usually sucks. We then move on to a discussion of an article by Tom Foremski at Silicon Valley Watcher about the benefits of a single search indexing system … and while it is a great idea, why we think it will never happen.
Push the big green button and have a listen in!
