One solution would be a good, but unpopular search engine. SEO wouldn't optimize for it because the returns wouldn't be there, and I could use it and get good results, because it would be good.

I can imagine paying a subscription to use it is one way to have a good and unpopular search engine.

Eventually that too will be subject to eternal September. You can't win, unless you make your own and never share it.
