We need a search engine that prioritizes ad free sites over ads. The less ad a site has, the higher it will be ranked. And you will automatically get rid of all search spam following this one rule.

This is how you end up with a search engine for pay-walled sites

Or how you end up with a search engine for passion projects, open-source projects, community hosted sites and more.

Treat paywalls the same as ads.

How should the crawler discover the pay-walled content? If sites explicitly allow the crawler to enter, what would be their argument to prevent that the search engine shows a cached version, especially if that's the search engine's policy from the start?

That said, search engine for pay-walled sites with integrated micro payment isn't a bad outcome. What else could create an alternative to the ad-based business model?
