Ask HN: What do you think a successor to Google Search looks like?

Thought Experiment: let's rethink the search engine. How does a small team of engineers, with tiny compute resources, build a new kind of information-finder?

The old model of centralized crawling/link/text-pattern-matching (a.k.a. Google) seems so 1998. So arbitrary, so open to manipulation (e.g. the Boris Johnson story today). I want something fundamentally different, something that takes into the account the sheer size of the internet today. Something not manipulatable by "SEO".
