I think OP's idea is that search services would be built into the Internet, and not provided by a third party. That is, when a website is published or updated, it is somehow instantly indexed and made available for search as a feature of the platform on which it was published.
- jedberg 7y agoBut you still need a third party to rank the results. I don't just want any page about my error message, I want the best page.
- jonathanstrange 7y agoThe page rank could be a transparent algorithm, which is regularly updated by a consortium like W3C. The question is whether this would work in an adversarial setting where every party tries to inflate their page rankings by any trick they can find.
- dageshi 7y agoNot a chance it would survive. Google has enough problems fighting SEO right now and they don't publish their algorithm and have incredibly deep pockets.
- swalsh 7y agoPersonally, I don't want "The page rank algorithm" I want 100 page rank algorithms made by 100 people. Transparency is important, but I think competition is more important.
- zdxt 7y agoThe platform could provide useful metadata, leaving the ranking up to the client..
- gshdg 7y agoIndexed where?
- Sohcahtoa82 7y ago> built into the Internet Uh...what? How do you define this?
