I use Retro Dodo’s complaints about a dramatic and unexplained decrease in its Google traffic to caution webmasters against relying solely on Google Search to deliver visitors.

The Peekier search tool, once reviewed by The New Leaf Journal, is no more (or so the fact it redirects to Kagi suggests).

The story of our lengthly Bing de-indexing (since resolved).

Making the case for whitelisting Seznam and other good crawlers from independent index search engines.

Yet another lesson on what happens when you fail to read the fine print. Properly removing pages from Yandex Turbo edition.

I show you how to add Norton Safe Web search to your browser (not that you SHOULD, however)

Turn your favorite read-it-later or bookmarking tool into a custom search engine.

Searching lite and wondering where that Qwant Lite link leads…

Completing the circle with custom search engine shortcuts for the revived Google Timer.

Perhaps not a conspiracy, but definitely a quite a coincidence.
