Search is way more than just indexing.

Not that Google is as good as it used to, but still, catching up with them is way more complicated than just building a big crawl + index piece of infrastructure.
And all of that on a government-funded shoestring budget.
Mmmh.
Good luck to them, but I'm not holding my breath.
- Kamq 4y agoI'd like to see them match the 10 years of fine tuning from 2012 google. My understanding is google used to keep a lot of data around for "long tail" queries, and stopped doing that at some point. This seems to be the issue around search declining outside of "food near me" type queries (which they absolutely excel at).
