PUBLIC SEARCH CACHE INDEX: Searching the web without search engine sites

If web sites or rather their addresses were organized in some meaningful ways that had to do with verified content and/or purpose, then we would not need search engine sites.

Easily accessible public domain registeries of urls mapped to content categories with listings verified by some independent bodies, not DMOZ, would go a long way in making the vast internet searchable by means other than search engine sites. Make the internet searchable to personal search bots, intelligent agents, or web services accessed and launched by individual users from their own machines or hosted machines.

What I am suggesting is something like a PUBLIC SEARCH CACHE INDEX like the Google indices but owned by not-for-profit PUBLIC entities. Do it people!
