New Search Engine?

[davidshq]

Hi Folks,
I'm currently considering developing a new search engine which I believe could achieve a majority market share through a unique algorithm. At this time I am researching possibilities as well as seeking initial funding. As I begin my feasibility research I figured I would open it up here if anyone is interested in giving me their feedback. Here are my questions:
(1)Do you think the major search engines continue to give more poorly focused results?
(2)Do you know of any useful sites I could use in my feasibility studies? Information that could be useful:
- Yearly profits and expenditures of major search engines.
(3)What could I do to make the search engine more attractive to you as a webmaster?
Thanks for your consideration.
Respectfully,
David.
