What if this attitude catches on? i.e. ok with working well 95% of the time? Can that break Google's search dominance? What if there is a new search engine which does a good enough job of indexing top 'n' websites and not really care about hyper optimized results based on personal preferences? If such a search engine works well 95% of the time and that's good enough for most people, it could take significant traffic away from Google. People could still fallback on Google for those highly optimized results for complex search queries.

- jacobolus 4y agoDuckDuckGo works a higher percentage of the time than Google does for me, with a lot less visual clutter, advertising, or underhanded attempts to trick me. YMMV. (Though I would still prefer have Google search from ca. 2005–2010.) In particular, > highly optimized results for complex search queries Google has gotten almost completely worthless for these, but unfortunately no other search engine does a good job with them at this point either.
