At INEX 2008 we presented SPIRIX, a Peer-to-Peer search engine developed to investigate distributed xml-retrieval. Such investigations have been neglected by INEX so far: while there is a variety of successful and effective xml-retrieval approaches, all current solutions are centralized search engines. They do not consider distributed scenarios, where it is undesired or impossible to hold the whole collection on one single machine. Such scenarios include search in large-scale collections, where the load of computations and storage consumption is too high for one server. Other systems consist of different owners of heterogeneous collections willing to share their documents without giving up full control over their documents by uploading them on a central server. Currently, there are research solutions for distributed text-retrieval or multimedia-retrieval. With IN EX and innovative techniques for exploiting xml-structure, it is now time to extend research to distributed xml-retrieval. This paper reports on SPIRIX performance at INEX'08.
