I have another comment on this thread that discusses the difference between research and engineering. The goal of this project is not to improve your google search results via the provided framework. That argument is an fine use of reductio ad absurdum, but it assumes a different premise than the one that the paper is addressing. The paper is an inquiry into where are we building systems that could empower user modification but for some reason or another are not. I encourage you to read the Related Work section of the paper to perhaps pattern match on other more fleshed out systems that might demonstrate the end goal in a way you've seen before.
