Ask HN: Would You Ever Pay For Search?

My frustration recently has been the massive numbers of scraper sites polluting my SERPs. So, an idea I've had (that no doubt has been thought of before) is a search engine with editor curation & user voting and reviews to determine site rankings.

But in keeping with Jason Cohen's post, http://blog.asmartbear.com/customer-validation.html , "When ten people say they'll give you money if you build this thing, that's the only validation that counts."

So: would you ever pay $1-$2 a month for search, or is Google et al cutting it just fine for you?

(my first HN post, hoping I'm not breaking any rules I'm not aware of here)
