no not really may be some theoretical way using ZK-snarks or encrypted enclaves (intel sgx) but not practical. also probably does not work cz oracle/enclave also needs input(raw crawl data/ network http bytes) which has to be trusted. one way could be project could make unbreakable mining/crawling chip/box/os/anticheat_layer_with_vm and supply to everyone which has different levels of breakable-lity and complexity to build.

One way is we send crawl_task to different to N random nodes and accept one that most similar?

another way could be build messy network to solve messy problem. What we do is build reputation bashed graph network and you accept index from nodes you trust. so people will start un following misbehaving nodes. there is not universalroot view of network instead its dynamic and different from prospective of each node. or it could have one root view if we store reputation data in bchain and with some type quadratic voting to modify the chain. ?

yeah Bitcoin showed us way to build mathematically secure system without any trusted party but it could do that cz problem it was solving is mathematically provable. Problem like collecting indexing crawl data you have to trust somebody.
