Anyone know if there's an index or search engine for ZeroNet? Or if you know of any good ZeroNet torrent/file sharing sites please share. Thanks.

Some random thoughts:
ZeroNet has the potential to make TPB more resilient by decentralizing the site itself. The whac-a-mole game they've been playing with domains recently is not sustainable. ZeroNet hasn't really answered the question of scale and indexing torrent metadata. Do you host the entire site as one site, or break it up into mini-sites via category (tv, movie, porn, games, etc)? When TPB keeps adding content, how do keep the site performing well for everyone? I've thought that the site can be owned by TPB, but all the contributors are user accounts where the uploaded content is owned by the users. The TPB owners have final say and could delete any contribution (e.g. malware, fake torrent, child porn, etc).
Fortunately, the source code is open... so anything you need can be coded with smart people and money to fund those smart people.
With a decentralized site, you don't have hosting costs, so that potentially could be redirected toward site development, or ZeroNet features.
WebTorrent has a role to play as a PopcornTime replacement. This will allow for true cross platform consumption of web media... Never liked the idea of having to download a Windows EXE to stream media.

TPB relies on a code base that is incompatible with ZeroNet, and it is highly unlikely Winston will ever re-write it to work there. The best you'll get is if some enterprising individual built their own mirror.
