Very true. Yeah I'm not saying I disagre with their choice, I just couldn't remember akk the exact details of the drama.
Some folks want zero "tampering" with search results. But honestly, a y search engine by definition is already curating the results before they ever get to the end user. The algos and crawler indexing they do, on top of all the ranking choices for relevance and organization is all effecting what comes back from a search.
