One innovative "solution" is millionshort:
Basically the idea is that you take sites that perform too well on search metrics and remove them. Of course, that only works as long as a majority uses services like google.

However the top result when I removed top 10k sites was the second result when I did it without removing anything. That was kind of disappointing.
HN's search won't return results with a domain if you don't put the TLD in. Not sure why.
Some of the results remind me of the Web from the late 1990s: Definitely more than just the original group of geeks writing pages, but the mega-popular sites (Wikipedia, about.com, etc.) aren't there, like they weren't there back 15 or so years ago. It's almost homey again.
