Just for the search part, should be easy enough: Why? Because Google, Bing, Duck Duck Go, etc. search totally sucks for over half, say, ballpark 2/3rds, of the (nearly all safe for work) content on the Internet, searches people want to do, and content they want to find. So, build something good for the other half+ or 2/3rds. Then could be maybe a little bigger in search than Google but nothing in phones, self-driving cars, video glasses, etc. Then move a little into Google's part of search and, thus, 'dethrone' them. Tough really to kill them off because for a narrow part of search they are quite good and tough to improve on.
Version 1.0 of the software is written and being tested and polished.
Would anyone here like to see an announcement here of going live?

- graycat 13y agoGoogle, Bing, Duck Duck Go, etc. do not suck for their 1/3rd. Instead they are from something up to okay up often quite good up to excellent. Recently they handle some special cases in cute, special ways but for most of their core work are still basically an old library card catalog subject index with the results sorted by a gross popularity measure. Net, their technique can work quite well when looking for content based mostly on just text, possibly from metadata, and where the user has a list of key words/phrases that accurately characterize the content. In that way they grabbed their 1/3rd.
