I expect some glitches with View Text/Rank when trying results that came from distributed index, I will fix them tomorrow.

If you interested to see the difference between distributed and previous (619 mln) index then you can use the following command in search string: disable:dindex -- this would disable searching of the distributed index.

So far I see very healthy increase in matches, inline with expectations.

Congratulations to everybody - our hard work and patience resulted in what has got to be the first in the world search engine that hit scale of 1 bln pages and this is just start!
Thank you guys for your hard work in MJ-12.
