AppleseedJennyon Ask HN: Is 'search' a solved problem?

To break into this space, I would recommend starting with a subset that people want to search. Like the facebook model of only being available for some colleges.

Some ideas:

- Only academic papers

- Only news sources

- Only hacker topics

- Only financial topics

- Only small bloggers

- Only literal keyword search which Google discontinued

Get traction in that domain, then build out from there.
