I have an idea: make a search engine for the non-commercial fragment of the web—only sites that don’t sell stuff or show ads. That would still support a lot of great content, like Wikipedia or Project Gutenberg, while excluding most of the crap that plagues the web today. Many users would be curious about such a thing, but it looks like commercial search engines don’t want to do it, or it would already exist.
The reason I’m not doing this myself is because I’m happy with my job at Google, which lets me support my large family. So anyone is free to take the idea and run with it :-)
It doesn’t look to me like it would produce any problems for DuckDuckGo to have a non-commercial keyword in their search engine.
Google itself has https://cse.google.com/cse/all . Are you sure you couldn’t do such a thing inside of Google as a 20% project if you pitch it right?
“Dogpile may look like a search engine you cobbled together with clip-art, but that’s rather the point as it pulls in and ‘curates’ results from various different engines including Google, Yandex and Yahoo, but removes all the ads”.

Anyone else have nice ideas to give away?

Haha, try searching for “cellular phone” on Dogpile.
