What if you build it like a distributed network focusing on anonymity / less centralization / less advertisement.
Of course, it will be a completely different business then google, but this kind of search competition could quickly destroy google business.
Of course, crawling, indexing and distributing billions of URL's is not an easy job, I don't say that it can be done by someone over the weekend, but you don't have to be Microsoft at all to be able to do it.
Big companies like Google has a big inertia. Google built a complete industry (the advertising) over their centralized search system, which is very hard to be changed. This is why they are very vulnerable.
- snemvalts 11y ago(Relative) anonymity is already done, avg users couldn't care less about the implementation & less advertisement could turn out to be something like Ello. Attempting to compete with Google is akin to creating a new, marginally better implementation of a really widespread standard and attempting to market it: nobody is going to use it.
