My ideal search engine would be 2008-2012 Google results but filtering out anything that even remotely smells of blog spam containing affiliate links.


Do you know how to do ranking of that king without pinging anyone to setup your analytics tool and have previous history or searches?


Did 2008-2012 Google have that? I think they mostly used backlink count.


Curious how much would you be prepared to pay per month for your ideal search engine?


For me (student) 5€/month is the no-brainer price for a useful service I use semi-daily. Beyond that it starts to hurt.


I would prefer a netflix model run by the gov. You pay 10 Euro a month when having an internet connection. This is distributed based on your activity. Sites you use often are being paid more to run their infra. At the same time those sites are not allowed to run ads or affiliate crap. Also profits should be capped and taxed with 99% above a threshold. \
