I don't agree, plus he's a billionaire.

  Why’s he not building it now, then? He has the means.

    Building costs more than money.

      True. I’m wondering though if he hasn’t given up on the idea. It’s been ten years. Maybe he doesn’t believe anymore that a human could do better, even if given 15 minutes of time? If such a demand exists, should we not be seeing an active “secondary marketplace” for people offering to do 15-minute human meta search & research tasks?

        I said "wanted it" not "wanted to build/finance it." Doubt he's given up wanting it. A human can always do better: take Google's results, then remove SEO spam/duplicates, extract more relevant snippets, combine results from multiple nearby queries, etc. Demand exists, but someone has to build it. And it's unclear how big the market is.
