There is an opportunity for niche applications. I would like a search engine that only indexes discussion forums. These are hard to surface on the SEO driven major search providers.

Kagi is working on this with its "lens" feature. I think it works pretty dang well. Most results I get when using the discussions lens come from Reddit, but you can block or reduce the ranking of sites, making this less of an issue, if it is even an issue for you. I suggest trying it out and joining their discord to share feedback (they're responsive).
