There are search competitors in non-US markets. The lack of funding begs the question of whether Google's search lead is simply due to no one trying to compete within the last 10 years.
DDG doesn't really qualify here as they aggregate google/bing search results.
- simonh 6y agoHow about Bing? Yes I know, they're easy to forget about, but....
- lumost 6y agoBing started 15+ years ago as a feature for feature clone of Google. Historically they've simply crawled Google results and replicated whatever Google returns. It could be a data point that Google has made the perfect search system as of 15 years ago - or just a footnote of the balmer era of Microsoft like Windows phone.
