Would be cool if there was a google search engine to find online multiplayer games.
I am so tired of the gamespy user interface and I think using a web based service to ping any game available on the internet would be really great.

The deep web is the home of intellectual property and licencing fees. Stock quotes, airline fares, map data... They are all subject to various licencing and non-disclosure agreements. I believe it's the royalties, not the technology, thats holding this up. These databases aren't free to create, I doubt the'll every be free to search either.
