This lead me to believe that search must really hard to implement, but then a few days of getting into Sphinx convinced me otherwise. It's kind of like the big sites where you have to load the whole video before it'll start playing (no HTTP partials). They could do better, they just don't.

If not, can anyone provide some examples of these "big sites". Would like to test.

Um. Example of sites where you have to load the whole video? I've never seen that in my life (I'm 29).

I'm only 35 and I remember this. It was quite common before YouTube.
