The main enemy of a better search engine are casual users who are satisfied with Google's mediocrity and don't seek nothing more advanced and better. Power users are the one who suffer the most. Google will have to reinvent itself

That's the main problem behind FOSS; they are not incentivized to be 100% dedicated to the project. Their FOSS projects are labour of love not labour of money.
