Google Search Dominance

There's a lot of search engines before Google, maybe you could offer a better service than the existing ones?

Google isn't the only search engine.

As far as Search as a product goes, Google is basically unstoppable IMO. They’re just far and away ahead of everyone else in both the engineering and theoretical side. They have the best infra for it and will keep their lead because they also get by far the most data for search which just goes into a positive feedback loop.The gap between Google Search and any other Search competitor is way way way larger than say.. AWS and any other direct competitor.In order for Google to be challenged

The future of the search engine? more alternatives but not killing what we are using now.

There have been a few search engines out recently. I'm curious how people evaluate them quickly.I've realized my searching is basically optimized for google and the web that has grown up around it. Also, in 1998 I wasn't as aware of what was out there as I am now. It's pretty rare (even if its possible) that I do a search and come across a completely new site that I haven't heard of before, for anything nontrivial. That was different when search began.Google is now

Though there are many better ideas like semantic search, entity search, Q & A, deep search, etc. Startups could crack some market share from big players. Building better search engine is not the big problem for startups, but from business perspective, It's a marathon race - in terms of scale, investment, making the user switching from google etc. also Google have billions of $$, thousands of researchers working to improve the results, competing them is not easy, hence many stay away fro

Google already isn't the only frontend to their search. Look at Startpage, for example.

Google has the best search results cause it has the most people using its service. Its models learn every time you click on a result. There's no way to take that on directly. What you need is to find an angle that Google can't easily follow, as with DuckDuckGo and privacy.Are there areas where Google can't go?

> there's no competition to Search on the horizonThis is bunk, and it's time for this myth to die. DDG/Bing/Yandex will list the exact same pages that Google gives as a search result most of the time, and sometimes better ones. If you find that the pointless endless-scroll listing of millions of search results (in 0.333ms!) that Google and also DDG gives you isn't helpful, you can also try Startpage.com.What are you searching for?

They've already built a search engine that is better than Google and ad-free.
