Hello, I am developing a Bitcoin Search Engine/Aggregator which will connect clients using Bitcoin as payment to merchants that accept Bitcoin. Essentially it will work like Google where you type in "Wilson Tennis Balls" and a list of search results both of physical locations on a map and web page results will show up.
I have done research and have not discovered any such website already being active and available, would anyone know if there something like this already out there that is functional and not shady?

Here is the kickstarter campaign for it if anyone is interested please share it around. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1065608453/coynful-the-bitcoin-search-engine

1. Why someone will pay for search, if they can get it for free (Google) ?

2. The best search niche in Bitcoin world is still the blockchain itself. There is a lot of things that can be done with the blockchain data, which is yet to be done.

How do you intend to build the database? Far as i know...Google will crawl for keywords and add it to their list of indexed website. So what's your strategy to get this done.

1. Google does not specify Bitcoin Only merchants, but gives you a wide variety of all merchant. Also, This service is free. No one pays to search.

2. Blockchain is map based, meaning only physical locations in your vicinity. It does not list all available online Bitcoin merchants.
