The feature I want from a search engine is shared block lists that remove annoying sites from results. Put all the LLM content farms on that block list. Add all the recipe sites that don't have recipes. Include all the sites that sell me things instead of teaching me things.

Lower page rank for sites that have shopping carts or ads or trackers.

I will pay good money for a subscription to a search engine that helps me find pages I want to see instead of delivering me to sites as a consumer.

@jamesvasile that indeed sounds great! It would be a great way to remove all online trash without limiting yourself to look for your search into individual sites. Even more, imagine being able to create several personalized search queries: you want to buy stuff? Unblock shopping sites. Looking for news about the latest events? Search only within news sites and block all social to avoid noise.
I’d love something like that.
