This is an excellent idea to disintermediate Google.
A search tool for the commons without the spyware and opportunities for search manipulation is very important, and the more actors work on it, the better.
Perhaps cooperations with other tech savvy democracies could occur. India is full of skilled programmers. Unlike Russia or China it is easy to see Europe cooperate with it.

And it's not the lack of skilled programmers that makes Western governments wary of cooperating with China and Russia. China and Russia have totalitarian governments that are terrified of the internet, and would like it to go away. I wouldn't want to include them in a project to make the internet work better.
