I really like your enthusiasm and I can tell you put a lot of thought into this.<p>In regards to the parent comment&#x27;s concerns about Google, though, I don&#x27;t think he is saying that their indexing algorithm needs to be improved upon, or even that we need an alternative to it. I read it as &quot;Google, in its ability to select sites for indexing, can control people&#x27;s access to information and can therefore manipulate thought&quot;.<p>The problem is that Google has so much power and inherent ulterior motives as a company that make it potentially threatening.<p>I think that&#x27;s why you&#x27;re pitching this project to democratize search, but I think what you just pitched is a Google&#x2F;Reddit hybrid--or basically a search engine that only gives results from a selected subreddit. Which could be cool, and I don&#x27;t know if that exists or not.<p>However, I think the solution to displacing Google from being <i>the internet itself</i> is to make an open source search engine that is equally good as a search tool, but can sell itself on the basis that it doesn&#x27;t track you or record your information (or if it does, there is no way for a human person to access your information).<p>I think the solution is DuckDuckGo.
