That was my thought as well. Especially if in some way this could run as a "personal" search engine. So I could fine tune it to avoid crawling and indexing cert

A general purpose search engine would need that 99 petabytes of bad webpages to help machine learning algorithms classify the new and unknown web content as good or bad. >if in some way this could run as a "personal" search engine. So I could fine tune it to avoid crawling and indexing certain sites What you want sounds more like a "whitelist" of good sites to archive and a blacklist of sites to avoid. With the smaller storage requirements of the whitelist content, build a limited inverted index[1]. I agree that would be useful for a lot of personal uses but it's not really a homemade version of Google. Your method requires post-hoc reasoning and curation. Google's machine learning algorithm can make intelligent rankings on new content of new websites that don't exist yet.
