Best of luck to you. It is ambitious to the point of crazy to take this on, but it's not impossible. Someone is going to revolutionize the space, it could be you.
As PG says, do you think in 100 years we'll still use something like the current Google for search? Or something quite different?
So someone is going to make it happen.
It's an area that exerts a strong pull for me as well, because I'm so dissatisfied with what we have now. There's gigantic room for improvement.
Don't aim at incremental, it's harder and even if you succeed at incremental improvement, you'll lose due to inertia. Aim for massive improvement.
Start with the fundamentals- What is search for? Why do we search at all? What's a better way to fill those needs?
