Maybe I'm cynical, but I don't see any innovation to be done in search. Google results have become much less useful over the past few years. If they cannot solve search with basically unlimited resources, how is a tiny company going to?

1. Filtering ever increasing trillions of spam/clickbait pages

2. Figuring out which results are useful information vs corporates trying to sell something.

Those problems are not solveable by a couple guys in a garage

Reminder: Google Is An Ad Company. Are you sure they actually want to solve search? Their primary interest is to be that corporation selling you something.

It's not clear to me that Google still gives a fuck about solving search/organizing the world's information and make it useful. The mess they've incentivized the web to become is very profitable for them.

Maybe not, but the garage guys should look into becoming the best search engine in a niche and expand from there.
