Ask HN: Can we create a new internet where search engines are irrelevant?

If we were to design a brand new internet for today's world, can we develop it such a way that:

1- Finding information is trivial

2- You don't need services indexing billions of pages to find any relevant document

In our current internet, we need a big brother like Google or Bing to effectively find any relevant information in exchange for sharing with them our search history, browsing habits etc. Can we design a hypothetical alternate internet where search engines are not required?
