No they don't. You can't find a damn thing on them anymore, and it is getting increasingly harder. At one time you could find a message if you recalled part of it, but you can't any longer. I can't find the current fucking copyright holder for Rocky Racoon. In fact, the entire Beatles Catalogue has disappeared from the search engines accept for a few releases from Vevo.
If you can't be part of the solution, don't be part of the problem. And don't post any nonsense about how search engines work. Don't post irrelevant facts about how they count cross links etc. I'm not a spammer. I don't care how they do it.
Don't post that I'm not the only one that matters... that is not only wrong to me, but it isn't relevant.
Don't post any other stupid shit on this topic other than how the situation can be made better so that information can be found more freely and shared more broadly.
Here is how they work... they sell shit for google and track you and they sell you as a product as well.
Until you come to understand that A) They don't work any longer B) They have no desire to work either... then this conversation with you is OVER.
Other things I don't care about? If it is in the search engines best financial interest to allow for a broad representation of internet resources, that they should be allowed to track users, that its not a big deal because we all use cellphones now anyway, or anything else that doesn't address the fact that the search engines are now broken, and there is a need to have them fixed...
I don't want to know about webspiders, robots or any other technical, legal or personal aspects about this. All I care about is that they are the glue to the internet and that glue is coming undone.
