Setting aside for a moment the fact that virtually no one online has noticed that essentially every web search engine is now a search engine illusion (a facade - a 'Potemkin village'), we have a second issue at hand:
When these search engine illusions become the topic of discussion, virtually no one has any clue how powerful the search engines were before the illusions arrived, or how they were used.
This shouldn't be possible absent the killing-off of just about everybody who was using the Internet between 1998 and 2020.

That technically wasn’t a search engine at first it was a link database and you had different topic areas you could browse and it would show you all the sites that fit in those topics. Heck you could just make one of those maybe we should
