To be clear, I’m calling for an open source *index*, not another search engine.

Practically all search engines (whether for-profit or nonprofit) are renting results from Google and/or Microsoft. The indexes maintained by both companies are driven by anti-consumer motives.

If there were a stable, financially independent index available to the public, we’d have our choice of for-profit, nonprofit, and FOSS engines built on top of it.
