Another inspiration: DNS for searching.

What if we implement DNS-like protocol for searching. Think of recursive DNS. Do you have "articles about pistachio coloured usb-c chargers"? Home router says nope, ISP says nope, Cloudflare says nope, let's scan A to Z. Eventually someone gives an answer. This of course can (must?) be cached, just like DNS. And just like DNS, it can be influenced by your not-so-neutral browser or ISP.



The proliferation of Black hat SEOs would render this useless.
