I really like your enthusiasm and I can tell you put a lot of thought into this. In regards to the parent comment's concerns about Google, though, I don'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 "Google, in its ability to select sites for indexing, can control people's access to information and can therefore manipulate thought". The problem is that Google has so much power and inherent ulterior motives as a company that make it potentially threatening. I think that's why you're pitching this project to democratize search, but I think what you just pitched is a Google/Reddit hybrid--or basically a search engine that only gives results from a selected subreddit. Which could be cool, and I don't know if that exists or not. However, I think the solution to displacing Google from being the internet itself 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't track you or record your information (or if it does, there is no way for a human person to access your information). I think the solution is DuckDuckGo.
