Sounds like a good concept but it is going to be very hard to determine the trust of the “deep web.” Google has developed some very sophisticated algorithms to determine trust, relevancy and popularity and, by the nature of the deep web being out of reach and therefore mostly without these signals, I don’t see how they will be able to produce reliable results.

Of what value is a search engine delivering a megabyte of text without structure? We already have Microcrap’s answer.com and newspapers. Data is not knowledge, propaganda is not knowledge. As we say in the lab, “a single failed reaction is a setback. A million failed reactions are a combinatorial library.” Feeding the array is not synonymous with net retained earnings. If you want to find the bottleneck, the first place to look is at the top of the bottle.
