If they were ripe for disruption and it was easy to do this disrupting just be returning better search results, and returning better search results was an easily doable thing then I suppose all the other functioning businesses that have a stake in web search would already be doing that disrupting.

Search disrupted catalogs. What will disrupt search?

Boutique hand crafted artisanal catalogs?

Not joking I have a feeling subject specific topics will be further distributed based on expertise & trust.

That's exactly what github's Awesome lists are: Decentralized, democratized handcrafted subject-specific catalogs

If they became important sources of information outside technically competent people I suppose we would end up with a bunch of Awesome lists of Content Farms!

Pubmed is an excellent example of a boutique search engine.
