Then we would need a search engine for search engines…
replyAlso, how would a search engine for recipes work? How does THAT search engine find when a new recipe site is created? It would be to scrape the whole internet just to find all the recipe sites….
Random ideas:
reply- it could work like the Kagi smallweb. people submit sites and you can’t submit your own until you submit (and have accepted) enough of others
- I’m also envisioning a parallel world where the big tech monopolies next existed. Maybe there could be crawler/indexer companies whose product was the stream of new content. Then you as a specialist search engine could consume the stream to build your own custom index and weights
This exists and is called a meta search engine.
For example like MetaGer, which was extremely famous 20 years ago in Germany.

replyReminds me a bit of how yahoo got started: categories, sub-categories, etc..
replyOf course, back then they had thousands of websites to categorize not billions.
