Christian suggested that it would help rare file distribution if
search results are returned for partial downloads.  After a little
deliberation, it seems like this idea is very feasible.  The results
will have to contain the bitprint and the ranges which have been
successfully verified.  On the receiving side, clients can use the
range information to determine if the entire file is available over
the network and use that to decide if the result should be displayed.
