I started to think differently about web search for agents, instead of traditional index, I would prefer to have an agentic WALKER that literally walks through pages and finds out whats needed, even if seeded with some initial web search.

Wouldn’t searching an index be faster? Unless you’re really digging through a site for some super deeply nested link?

I needed to find a word on a wayback archived website. Could not. So I scraped the waybackmachine pages to .md… and found it that way… sorry Archive.org

I like the idea, but its a surefire way of bloating the context. Although I guess you'd want a subagent to do the search.
