    You know, that makes me wonder if someone could figure out the old google search algorithm, and use it to make a new, more useful search engine.

      IIRC PageRank was patented, so it’s public, and at this point the patent is surely expired.

        A lot of the cost is data storage. Unfortunately, I doubt any party will replace old Google.
