This paper gives an absolute new search system that builds the information retrieval infrastructure for Internet. Now most search engine companies are mainly concerned with how to make profit from company users by advertisement and ranking prominence, but never consider what its real customers will feel. Few web search engines can sell billions dollars just at the cost of inconvenience of most Internet users, but not its high quality of search service. When we have to bear the bothersome advertisements in the awful results and have no choices, Internet as the kind of public good will surely be undermined. If current Internet can't fully ensure our right to know, it may need some sound improvements or a revolution.
