Does anyone know if there's folks working to build a better mousetrap where search is a protocol that anyone could use, not a company service?

If you are thinking about decentralized search, it already exists in some P2P networks (ex: Kademlia)

However, it is nowhere as effective as commercial services. So much that the most effective way of finding pirate stuff is often to Google them despite all the copyright takedowns.
