Article is in Italian.

Famous privacy blog Le Alternative (!lealternative@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy) was de-indexed from Bing and from all Bing-dependent search engines, including DuckDuckGo. At the moment it is impossible to search for their useful articles and the reason for this de-indexing is unknown. The owner of the blog is still trying to find out the reason for this removal.

    I think writing a search engine on top of an existing index is not hard. The more difficult and expensive part is crawling the web.

        I wonder if this is ripe for disruption. Any value in a startup that sells a web index?

          I did forget to mention that Brave are now doing Brave search so that could be interesting to see where that goes.
