Yahoo & Bing search engines failed in their respective challenges to Google, so I don’t anticipate my own engine to do any better. When it comes to addressing privacy and the monetization of web-tracking, I would have more interest in using whatever information has been aggregated, to present closer search results for the user. Presenting similar results rather than purchase options would probably restore human curiosity to the internet. I would also make it more user friendly and perhaps include exercises or short tutorial clips that show users how to tailor their search attributes in order to achieve more accurate search results. I’m not sure what I would call it.
I am more interested however in more of an open GPS type of software that incorporates historical data that reaches beyond what augmented reality apps have accomplished. If the entries were open-sourced, similar to Wikipedia; users would have more of a cultural experience combined with local commerce, rather than a standard functionality. I would like it to work similarly to how gps apps currently aggregate info from other drivers to determine shortcuts or detours.
I would probably name this GPS search “GOB4”, sort of a play on the word GO and Before, visiting somewhere new and walking, learning amongst its past.
