I have an idea( prototype? ) for a search engine that could be disruptive, with a bit of luck. It has nothing to do with bangs and slashtags. I've hired a freelancing coder to do some "wrapping up" so I could show the prototype but it is over a month now and still I haven't heard from him. I do not want to engage too much time and resources into this (hiring stationary coders) but this really is the search engine tha…

"those two big engines ( Google and Bing ) couldn't probably adopt because they are simply too big." and "some good coder could simply copy it in like 2 weeks." seem very contradictory.
People are used to the way Google works. If they(Google) tried to adopt this new way, I am sure many people would resign / change their provider. But still for many people, it would be a better experience.
Speaking of which, there are 'open' indexes of the web that anyone can download and use to build their own search product. But I can't remember the name of them. Can anyone help? Googling it results in dismal failure. I think there is still huge room for innovation in search. Google has taken a different track, and they're focusing on Machine Intelligence. (in my opinion) search is just a nice side effect, but I real…
I think it strips out the top however many results you get from google. It can possibly (depending on the search), get rid of SEO heavy results that don't have much useful content.
Digest is not a normal search engine, but an XML description language to tell a spider where to find what on a web layout. Its aimed on the dark side of the internet, able to login on website, use cookies, and even delegate captcha solving.
The main problem of Digest is that its maintenance intensive because websites are changing layouts regularly. The idea of a Digest for the masses would be an open source distributed search engine, that runs on normal peoples web servers. So every (power) user has access to the search engine itself.
My problem, and question to this audience is: How to make money with such an project? The only idea I have currently is kickstarter.
Do you think Twitter has the potential to grow into a new kind of search engine ( http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/07/what-twitters-n... )? Unlikely I know, but their access to true real-time data presents interesting possibilities I think.
