Is there such a thing as a manually curated search engine? (lemmy.world)

When I search for anything on Google or DuckDuckGo, more than half of the results are useless AI generated articles.

Those articles are generated to get in the first results of requests, since the search engine use algorithms to index websites and pages.

If we manually curate "good" websites (newspapers, forums, encyclopedias, anything that can be considered a good source) and only index their contents, would it be possible to create a good ol'fashioned search engine? Does it already exist?

There's space in the market for a better search engine. It could be built using an AI-assisted tool for semi-automatic curation by a team of a hundred librarians that could speedily vet the AI's suggestions for quality.

I'm not sure the web is even that big any more, due to all the big web 2.0 social apps like Facebook and Instagram sucking everything into their uncrawlable platforms.
