The Man Who Killed Google Search
This is the story of how Google Search died, and the people responsible for killing it. The story begins on February 5th 2019, when Ben Gomes, Google’s head of search, had a problem.Edward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)
#sadly you're not getting a similar response here as on #x. I actually put the entire text of your #metatag description into a #google #search...
On top was a link to your #app on #googleplay 🙄
BUT... I scrolled though many results... you're #NOT there... I mean serious, just not there.
Your #Mastodon account comes up well before anything remotely #tuta...
#discrimination comes in so many forms... seems people who speak the #truth are always beat down.
#justsaying #privacy #sad
Sometimes finding perfect #search results can be a pain and Google buying dominance doesn't help. 🔎

Hey #Fediverse! @Seirdy has a 'forever' article: A look at search engines with their own indexes
One thing this article should remind you all about: there are three dominant #search indexes - Google, Bing, and Yandex. And Yandex is dominant outside of English.
But there are real options, and many of them are open source, especially for outside the commercial internet. (I am partial to the MarginaliaSearch project.)

Thanks to @buercher for building it.
It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.
That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.
