Google definitely plays favorites. It is written in to how PageRank works. Some sites are Trusted manually. The distance from those sites is your Page Rank Flow.

Now that we have that settled, and you are looking for a new search engine, let me suggest http://www.plexisearch.com/

It uses a lot less Page Rank style rankings, we don't have to do much delisting since we can usually tell using NLP if a site is any good.

Exactly. Look I get it, we are engineers who like logical rules that are applied evenly and without exceptions... But google already does tweak things, so "integrity" is IMO a weird concept to apply to SERPs.
