If you can't find something [through Google], then it may as well not exist.
If, for example, a director wants their movie removed from Google search results, it will still show up in searches on imdb, wikipedia, rottentomatoes &c., and is thus accessible to quite a large number of internet users.

- return0 12y agohow often do you use wikipedia's or imbd's search function?
- 1971genocide 12y agoQuite Often, I frequently use wikipedia search, facebook search ( to find certain people ), bing search , github search, npm search,stack overflow search, reddit search. But yes I agree removing someone from google will make them less visible.
- learnstats2 12y agoAt least once per day, each. Why would I use google to search wikipedia or imdb? Both of those sites have now got search engines that are very effective; I have a two character shortcut in my address bar thanks to DuckDuckGo.
- Springtime 12y agoDirect browser addressbar searches do make it much easier to use a site's own search. Certainly for Wikipedia my keyword search of 'w <query>' is used daily to find things.
