What if your search engine was just made up of sites you add to a personalised "pool" of sites. This way your news comes from a consistent source and/or your technical questions are answered by your favourite dev community site, etc. Certain sites could be tagged for relevancy around a certain search keyword.
That's my two cents :)
- igammarays 7y agoI like this idea. You can also start with a pre-populated pool of curated sites for particular topics. You choose these seed pools based on your trust of the curator, which could be a university research department, for example.
- tinytrader 7y agoExactly what I was getting at :)
- freediver 7y agoSounds like a bad idea. It more describes a news app than a search engine (which should be able to find info about any string of characters you input into it, including obscure searches that you enter now and then)
- tinytrader 7y agoI hear you - but a question I have would be: How often do you use the rest of the search results Google shows you? 9.9/10 out I'm using results from the first page. Would it be bad to curate the sources of that initial search, and disregard the rest?
- freediver 7y agoThe point I am making is the web is huge and your curated list likely to be small and not contain any information about 'tail of search' kind of query.
