What would be required to have a distributed index as well as the distributed content? (zerobytes.monster)

Considering one of the benefits of Torrents is that they the content is not held in a single targetable location, is there a mechanism to have the index managed in the same way?

This would then remove the need for the centrally managed index sites.

In addition, index searching could now be distributed and a consumer can tag and watch for new content in the way they want (assuming the searching tool allows for local notifications of things they are interested in).

I guess having some idea of the volume of data actually in an index would be useful, but not everyone would need all of it.
