I for one am sick of the irrelevent or "Buy this" commercial sites any search throws up. I want truly free information,links, software, (this excludes "crippled" and time limited Shareware), and other delights.
I would use a search engine that gives me ONLY Free and Open stuff, almost exclusively. I wouldn't mind it being financed by banner ads, it's the Hidden commercialism that wastes my time. The community of users could be used to weed out the commercial stuff that creeps thru', but the algoritms for Free stuff only would be the difficult part

Not real familiar with it but noticed a lot more people are coming to my site from a place http://www.stumbleupon.com. Users suggest, vote and rank different sites. No affiliation and not a user, but thought it could be along the lines of something in this direction.
