Pretty good call to arms, here - except it's maybe a little bit misnamed - since it's mainly a talk about a technological fix for open search and not so much about the economics of search. I too would find it profoundly cool if all the infrastructure to build personal micro-Googles was just standard on webhosting accounts (it almost is, actually) and if these accounts provided seamless scalability (not so much yet, certainly not without thinking on the part of the webhostee), but we would still have the problem of connecting the search to an audience and huge problems with a fragmented question space. The two are the same of course. I added some quick notes on this over on the Wiki.
