Ask HN: Is there room for another search engine?

I don't see any problem here.

I've been using startpage for the last 5 years and I'm not looking back. I woudn't have any problem using any other search engine, nowdays any search engine works. The 3 or 4 times that I googled these years I found it pretty weird.

tl;dr: There's plenty of room, just not enough gray matter. :)

But...Startpage uses other search engines, primarily Google.

Truuuue. :)

But my point is my searches usually end up in:

wikipedia, blogpost, *overflow, twitter, reddit, papers ...

So making a search engine for only those sites, could be a usable search engine indeed and I would use it if I had to. :)
