So... question. With how garbage Google has been lately, and how mediocre the alternatives are. What's stopping someone from making a new Google search engine that worked the way the old one did?
Based on the history of various other alternative tech services, I would expect any serious non-woke competing service to spontaneously become the subject of onerous investigations, payment processing roadblocks, and/or compliance requirements.

Nothing any more. Their patent expired AFAIK.
A lot of "search engines" use Google results because they don't want to invest in the crawling. So just money is obstacle.

It's called yandex. So far it's the least neutered search engine I know of.
