Sorry, but this was too tempting: https://imgur.com/a/6UcAOnF

But seriously, I'm not sure it is feasible, I wish the internet could auto-index itself and still be decentralized, where any type of content can be "discovered" as soon as it is connected to the "grid".

The advantage would be that users could search any content without filters, without AI tempering with the order based on some rules ... BUT on the other hand, people use search engines because their results are relevant (what ever that means these days), so having an internet that is searchable by default would probably never be a good UX and hence not replace existing search engines. It not just about the internet being searchable, it would have to solve all the problems search engines have solved in the last ten years too
