Everyone agrees that Google has an unfair monopoly over search engines.
Everyone agrees that such a monopoly has been established by crafting commercial deals that potential competitors couldn't refuse.
But everyone seems to be confused on how to fix the issue without impacting consumers and their habits forged over 25 years of Google's search dominance.
In this new article I discuss how meta-search engines like Searxng that aggregate results from competing (and probably smaller/specialized) engines, open search protocols, a revive of the semantic web and a sprinkle of public funding to fix whatever the market alone can't fix can actually turn a regulatory puzzle into a technological opportunity - and make search better for everyone in the process.
