Past it, it means that the message doesn't exist :) What strikes me about realtime search is that most of the time it's actually "search in recent data". It doesn't involve new algorithm or even use-cases, but it just reduces the bucket of searchable data to what's been published in a "recent" timeframe. Finally, all these srvices still onvolve the user actually doing a search, over and over again (by opening a browser window). I'm looking forward to stuff like Google Alerts in realtime. I do the search once, and then, get results pushed to me, rather than pull them over and over and over again. That's my 2 cents! I'd love to chat more if you have time! My email should be posted.
