Ask HN: Should search platforms harden themselves against false ad claims?

1 points by underlipton ↗ HN
I've lost complete faith in the notion that search engines actually return results for the query I've submitted. If this were ever proven to be so, I wonder if it would open companies up to claims of false advertisement. It wouldn't be a matter of the results being "good" or "accurate", but of the company falsely promising to run a query that it has no intention of running.

I don't think whatever standard we imagine search engines would be held to would be very high or prove much.
