But Google hasn't fixed it. If you're looking for electronic parts, Octopart works much better than Google.

But how to find Octopart? How to even know it exists? I envision a search engine that gets to know you, asks for clarifications, and delegates to a suitable specialized search engine.

I bet a startup is working on something like this right now.

But building an indexing system that google already has set the standard for is a little more than what any "little" startup can do.
