Only solution is a webring based federated search engine. 1. You just put /webring.txt to your website. It shows links to other websites with a hard limit of 100 websites. 2. To combat spam and bots, search engine does accept blocklist as an input. So other people can curate the content. 3. People can personally rank the websites they like, so webring of the said website gets ranked higher for that specific user. This can be a community effort too. 4. Search engine itself should be under a commercial license so that other people can keep building it and add ads if they want to commercialise it. I’m too busy to spend time with this but perhaps one day I can start coding it. I’m convinced that search engine model of early internet is just dead, webrings are the way forward.
