I saw a post about NFT search engine, and it had me thinking if it made sense to have a .eth search engine and if ENS should build it or get a third party to do it. Can we list below any potential use cases of a search engine and if it gains enough traction, we can decide if it makes sense to push the initiative.
Search Engine Ideas for .ETH

Like a yellow pages. So if you are looking for cypto lawyer, you can search crypto lawyer or lawyer, and .eth would come up of people who do this service. Maybe .ETH has a field somewhere where people can write a x word description or service they offer?

Search engine linked esq. If you are looking for a crypto developer, maybe .eth can have an area where you can indicate the expertise you have or resume or available for hire. and the search engine could gather results by country etc.
Basically, .eth can create more fields where users can fill things in and then a search engine can be used to provide results or parse the content. Basically .Eth becomes an identity and then you enter info in fields for ENS and then a search engine can be created to curate results.
It is a low probability but high potential opportunity. Maybe ENS can create something publicly first and allow others to build on it for a variety of use cases.
