Ask HN: Open source/neutral web search?
The discussions on search engine limitations (filter bubbles) and the power of money for search results seems like a frustrating discussion. I wonder if Wikimedia or some other organization will consider a first-principles/open approach to web search? I did a cursory search and see nothing obvious that handles this problem.

- abawany 13y agoI like using it actually as well. However, all commercial enterprises tend to move towards ever-increasing infringements of privacy to remain financially viable. Thus, a search engine run by Wikimedia or another non-profit, in my somewhat naive thought process, would remove the profit motive and thus remain true to the goal of search.
