Just like implementing global search across all websites is impossible

  To be fair there is no open standard for global search across all websites.

    I'm not sure what you would want from a standard. The basic idea is very simple, crawl the entire web starting from a few known points and visiting every single url you see on every page. Now you have an index of the internet you can run searches on. The only problem is meaningfully ordering those results and having the computing power to do it. An open standard doesn't solve those.

    there is <meta name="description" content="..."> and <meta name="keywords" content="..."> too bad humans don't follow a standard of decency, so those were abused to the point of being ignored.

  You forgot the part about abandoning centralization.
