What if we had more specialized search engines? There should be a recipe aggregator that searches for recipes and nothing else, and prioritizes high value recipe sites.

Then we would need a search engine for search engines…

Also, how would a search engine for recipes work? How does THAT search engine find when a new recipe site is created? It would be to scrape the whole internet just to find all the recipe sites….

Reminds me a bit of how yahoo got started: categories, sub-categories, etc..

Of course, back then they had thousands of websites to categorize not billions.
