Say there's a search engine where 500 people run a program on their PC that acts as a part of the search engine

So one person might have 800gb to contribute, or 2%. Another 10TB, or 12% (numbers being made up)

How do I prevent an army of glow niggers from setting up modified programs that change the outcome of searches?

What you're looking for effectively, is a way for users to choose which contributors to trust for their searches.

For instance, I would query Alice and Bob but not Tom, because Tom is compromised/is a glow nigger/etc basically untrustworthy.

That would be simple to do, I'd be more worried about how to mitigate the case where someone impersonates Alice & Bob or is able to make it impossible to reach Alice & Bob.
