Google has the best search results cause it has the most people using its service. Its models learn every time you click on a result. There's no way to take that on directly. What you need is to find an angle that Google can't easily follow, as with DuckDuckGo and privacy.
Are there areas where Google can't go?

Lots of people using it hasn't always made it better. EDIT: I mean, Matt Cutts has a blog post saying that Google dropped the + operator because most people didn't use it, and when they did use it they used it wrong.

- greglindahl 10y agoPartly using human curation is an area that Google doesn't want to go into... that was blekko's sustained competitive advantage. Wasn't big enough for us, but maybe someone else could make a go of it.
