My wish would be for a free search engine, not a meta search engine, but it doesn't seem like there is much interest for that, mainly because it highly demanding in terms of complexity, but most importantly resources to run it.
I'm sorry, what does that mean?
If the algorithm is made open source, it'll likely be even easier for spammers to exploit it to spam SEO crap. ~Nai
I kind of doubt that they would optimize for an underdog in the search engine space, they'd be spending money on something fundamentally unprofitable, also because there's going to be a high overlap between the users of such an engine and those who would use an ad/content blocker
Maybe, but if it gains popularity for being better than Google or something, then the quality would probably go down significantly. ~Nai
Of course, can't argue with that. It would have to be really really good in order to make it though, idk, maybe it's just a childish whim of mine hah
