Add time to your searches.

When doing searches for particular items, a simple scroll into the page (3D would be nice, but not necessary) will examine a dated history of what that search term brought up a month ago, two months ago, a year ago, 5 years ago... etc.

Prior to the internet, this could flip into a history of what was thought to be known about those terms. Graphically, this would be a nice visual of the growth of human knowledge.

When I was a child, my great aunt had an Encyclopedia Britannica from, jeez, something like 1928. It was fascinating reading.
