This is one of the reasons among many that search needs more competition. Having one dominant search engine means that abuses towards site owners can't simply be remedied by being listed somewhere else. Yes there are other search engines right now but they either serve Google's results or Bing's and that means they're actually furthering this problem.
Full disclosure, I recently founded a search engine and we are serving our own indexes to fight problems exactly like this.

- ryantgtg 6y agoYo, I’m on an old SE and I can’t click the consent. It doesn’t scroll, and it’s off screen.
- Grimm1 6y agoAlright, I just pushed a change and for good measure clearing our site caches since we've had a few changes to that banner recently. Check back in a few and you should be good.

[javascript graphing library] was the query (spent half the afternoon searching variations on that in DDG and Google). The results for just [javascript] are pretty funny.
- Grimm1 6y agoYeah I think that is good feedback, we currently have 100m pages and that represents 40k sites so we cover a lot of the most visited sites right now except FB, Github and a few others because of concerns we have over indexing somethings -- we're working those out right now and then we will have better results for you there. Edit: Also I just saw it that is actually hilarious -- we'll get that fixed.
