I don't think Google search not performing as many people would prefer is due to technological short-comings of the platform. I wonder if a co-op model, for at least search functionality, is realizable in the near term. What I mean is using cloud resources to spin up an indexing/search interface with minimal management that can be used by any number of shared participants for a fraction of the total compute/storage costs. It wouldn't be purely decentralized in the blockchain/p2p sense but "decentralized-enough" perhaps to function much better for results people actually want to find. The costs would naturally scale with the desired level of decentralization.
