Why is it a problem for wikipedia to appear on the front page of search results?

• leephillips 6y ago
  It’s not a major problem, but it’s not optimal; just more stuff to skip over looking for the real results. The thing is, I know there is a Wikipedia article about everything, and if I want to see it, I’ll go there and use their search.

    Isn't the objective if a search engine to show you the most relevant result to your search? I find wikipedia results to be my most clicked because they're the most useful. I don't understand how those aren't "real" results.

      Well, that’s fine. It sounds like Google is more in tune with how you see things, so their rankings are more relevant for you. I was talking about me (as usual).
