@evan Because most people don't understand how to index queries, and because this problem is typically not discussed in schools or in books on search, most systems that should use prospective search are actually implemented by doing repeated prospective searches on incrementally built document indexes. While this is inefficient, it is easily hacked together and, given the power of machines today, most folk don't have enough queries to really notice the limitations of repeated retrospective.
