Only recently started using searngx. I would love to see more search engines implement their own indexing and ranking, instead of relying on other engines.
But I am aware that making a good search engine is hard. Even with all their flaws, google and Bing still have the best results, which is why most other engines rely on their results.
Which is just bing with a few extra editorial changes that aren't really transparent.
Losing the internet archive would be such a huge loss... I really hope they have a backup plan in case things go bad legally.

Having worked on a product that actually did this, it's not as easy as it seems. There are many ways of drawing text on the screen.
GDI is the most common, which is part of the windows API. But some applications do their own rendering (including browsers).
Another difficulty, even if you could tap into every draw call, you would also need a way to determine what is visible on the screen and what is covered by something else.
