Perhaps time to think outside the box. What about “malicious” code that injects itself into other servers and devices to run the search engine. World Wide Worm of search. No centralized server to attack, no company to sue, just a practically impossible to eradicate self perpetuating worm made to provide search results without a corporate or political bias?
Stealing server resources isn't the way to go if it is to become anything more than a shortlived gimmick. If you need servers, someone will need to provide them legally.
I don't see an obvious way for a regular searchengine to be distributed/p2p; both the indexing and search execution aspects would have to be extremely redundant (i.e. inefficient) if the were to withstand the inevitable attempts at sabotage.
I don’t want to advocate for theft of resources and cyber squatting, but with every major vendor going the way of Woke and Weird it gets harder to trust any corp to do the right thing.
We need some kind of opensource community searchengine. It won't be cheap to run though, and I wonder if people would actually pay to support it.
