    Think even Yahoo & Bing can't go higher than Google. But I am not saying it is impossible, you need to have high level of programming knowledge to start it then lots of money to market it. If you are serious good luck!

    I'm starting with no capital and a sort of business plan in my head, but then I'm a software engineer (and crazy) so I can do the programming myself, if you're going to hire programmers it will take some money to get started.

    I would say you can make a pretty decent search engine on just one dedicated server. My search engine currently runs on the smallest linode for $15/month and it returns surprisingly good results considering the small resources used.

    As computers and networks get faster and faster and search software is available of-the-shelf the cost of entry is not that big anymore and we are going to see a huge number of new search engines in the following years.

    You don't have to be as big as Google to make money. Many search entrepreneurs will be happy with just a tiny bit of the market as long as that bit makes them a profit.

    I think that could be happen if you genius to make a fresh new algorithm and then start a new search engine which is not similar to others, but as i said it need an idea and work hard, even without money you could move it to toop by jointventuring but it needs to be unique.

    This is how my search engine is unique:

    - Heavy family friendly filters that removes porn, pills, gambling and profanity (saves me a ton of disk space and saves me from a ton of spam too)
    - I'm going to show you exactly how your page is ranked. This part isn't ready yet as the information isn't that easy to present but you can see all keywords and links associated with a page.
    - I don't favor big sites the way Google does, small sites have equal opportunity. I'm not giving any penalty to large sites though so they can also rank if they have good content.
    - I'm going to provide a lab membership where you can dig our even more info from the index.
    - I'm going to make tools useful for SEO that leverages the data from the index.

    What do you think?

    You can make a powerful search engine, but not like Google.

    The idea is to be different from Google. We don't need another Google :) but alternatives
