The way I'd code a better search engine is I'd design an ML model that's trained to recognize handwritten HTML like this, and only add those to the index. It'd be cheap to crawl probably only needing a single computer to run the whole search engine. It'd resurrect The Old Web, that still exists, but just got buried beneath the spammy SEO optimized grifter web over the years as normies flooded the scene.

I hope to never use your search engine. I love hand written HTML as much as the next guy, but search engine's are made to find things. And useful information exists on web sites that use generated and/or minified HTML.

Thanks for that buzzkill. I guess the lesson is if you can't do everything Google does, don't even try.

I don't agree with that at all. But if your goal is to make "a better search engine" as you said, it does actually have to be "better" and not just different.
