Basically websites would link to each other in the old internet, to create a “ring” of sorts. It mostly functioned as an algorithm of sorts, without actually being an algorithm.

I don’t know about federated, but there is SearXNG, which is FOSS. There are plenty of public instances or you can run your own instance.
If you are willing to pay money ($5-10 USD) then I recommend Kagi. In my opinion Kagi is worth the money, as it it provides much better results and has a lot more features. Like SearXNG, it is also ad-free.

I hope someone comes up with a different search engine without all of the bullshit.
Kagi seems very promising but it’s paid. Most people will never pay for a search engine.

Yeah, $15 a month for search is a bit difficult to swallow for me as well.
I wonder if there is another business model, or alternatively a non-profit or foundation could start up a search engine.

Despite what Google wants you to think, organic search is not the only way to get traffic. Fuck em. Time to disallow Googlebot in robots.txt and noindex your content.

And also to explicitly feed garbage when the useragent is that of the googlebot. And while we are at it, do the same with a few other UAs too. You know which I mean.
Of course, that may not be feasible for everyone, but I do know that my visitors are not coming from google.

Nobody needs to die just because Google let out an inappropriate fart.
I guess people would create pages full of links to their real pages.
You die if your website is not indexed by the largest search engine.
Time to break them up.

monopoly anymore since they have been declared a monopoly hay did you know google was legally ruled a monopoly?
Imagine if the Google cards get discontinued half way into the game 💀
Seriously, they are shamelessly holding the internet hostage. This is the kind of thing we would send James Bond in to deal with.
Whats a good federated search engine?
I know peertube has: sepiasearch.org
