You mean like some sort of text box, where you type in your problem, and get results, perhaps augmented with some paid advertising from folks that know their offering would solve your problem? :-)
Google works for more immediate problems, but not for longstanding ones.
"Advertize what you want to buy, not what you sell" I forget the name but there was a site trying that about eight years ago. Argentinian startup I think. Might be worth trying again, you could build early adoption from twitter maybe? Usual problem building a two sided market...

I use for this Google alerts, for now results are mixed. But give it a try!
