It might not actually be a violation of copyright, or search engines, the internet archive (which is nowhere near rich or powerful BTW), caching services and more in general could not legally exist in a practical manner. I'm guessing clear view exists under similar law. It's an image search engine, focused on faces. Google & microsoft could probably implement it today with their own image index, but don't because they will get a shit ton of negative PR and legislation for not enough money for that niche use case, because they are too big and powerful.
Google could very easily start the most effective hedge fund in the world due to their search engine power and ability to hire the smart, but do not, probably for much of the same reasons.
