Search is a complete free market, and there are other competitors in the space. User switching costs are nearly zero, since choosing a different search engine is as easy as typing a URL. Yet, Google persists in adding the most value to user searches and dominates the space.
I'm not sure how easily Google Search will be dethroned.
- wand3r 10y agoI think the parent is wrong in "easily replaceable" but I think it will be replaced soon. For $5 I would pay for a private customizable search engine, someone will build it
- clarkmoody 10y agoYou understand that Google has invested literally billions in search...
- wand3r 10y agoCorrect. I think Google will be replaced but due to their investment it won't be easy.
