Search sucks and I'm not really convinced LLMs will save us there, so...Is anyone working on (or dreaming about) a decentralized search engine?
I have some ideas, and I've been tinkering with a prototype based on lightweight shareable indexes (e.g. to allow someone to curate a crawl of interesting sites ad produce a relatively small index that they could distribute and others could plug that into their local engine)
Interested in talking with people who are also wandering in that direction.
