Strategies for Indexing and Discovering IPFS Hashes

I am exploring the idea of using a search engine to index IPFS hashes. What strategies can be employed to efficiently discover new hashes and gather useful information about their contents? Additionally, what key information should be stored about a hash to make it interesting and relevant to users? Any insights or best practices in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Previously, there was a website called https://ipfs-search.com/, but it faced challenges due to funding issues. To discover hashes, one can monitor background DHT and Bitswap traffic and subsequently implement a crawler on top of this data.
