Or even an online search engine that was configurable where you could customize the search engine and assign custom weights to different aspects.
I'd love to be able to configure rules like:
+2 weight for clean HTML sites with minimal Javascript
+5 weight for .edu sites
-10 weight for documents longer than 2 pages
-5 weight for wordy documents
I'd also like to increase the weight for hits on a list of known high quality sites. Either a list I maintain myself, or one from an independent 3rd party.
Once upon a time I tried to use Google's custom search engine builder with only hand curated high quality sites as my main search engine. It was to much trouble to be practical, but I think that could change with an actual tool.
