Lightbulb Increasing the number of possible sources

Apologies if this is already done, or has already been requested, or can't be done, but...

Would it be possible to integrate Bitzi or the Hash codes into the search itself, so that all identical files, regardless of the filename, were identified together?

If that's not clear, let's try a simple example:

If I search for "Antmusic" my search results might contain:

Antmusic.mp3
Antmusic_1980.mp3
Antmusic - Kings of the Wild Frontier.mp3

And so on. Now, each file may be hosted by a single user, but if all three files are identical, exept for the filename, why not download the file from all three hosts?

Better still, why not show it as a single search result with #=3, using the first or most common filename in the results list?

Thanks. MLS
