What do you think "competition" means? Operations don’t only compete in the arena that they make the most money in. Google competes with Apple in the browser, phone, tablet and camera arenas too, even tho it doesn’t make as much money as Apple does in the phone, tablet and camera arenas and makes much more money than Apple does in the browser arena. It also competes with Apple and in the 'store' arena.

I understand that; I was merely, as I wrote in my previous message, that I didn't write that.

A scenario that Google may prefer is to be de-defaulted and have no
agreement with Apple, but at the same time rely on the general tendency
of many users to select Google as their default search engine. Google
wins with less ad-click share to Apple. Apple lose.

Not only would it piss off the others, but it would also make a statement that Apple is a company that supports privacy... at least it would seem like they do.

But don't actually do anything about that with search engines.

Apple has also arguably done more to protect their customer's privacy than other firms. No corporation is to be trusted completely; but some certainly are more trustworthy than others. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.

You could always wrap your Google (or other) searches via Tor browser
making you pretty much untrackable. I tried it recently and its speed
(I mean network side) is improving to the point of not being a drag anymore.
As to best search engine we assume that Google is the best, or maybe
Bing is. Or perhaps Yahoo (which uses Bing).
How does one 'certify' (or otherwise measure) the completeness of a
search site's content library? It's crawler's abilities? Bias? (Google).
Likewise the efficiency, completeness, accuracy and context-mindfullness
of its search engines and results?

That isn't necessarily what most want from a search engine, for many it’s getting the hits sorted so the one they want is on the first page and one which works out what you meant rather than what you actually typed, particularly with typos and alternate keywords that are more commonly used. > It's crawler's abilities? Bias? (Google). > Likewise the efficiency, completeness, accuracy and context-mindfullness > of its search engines and results? That's closer to what most want from a search engine but also includes what I listed as well.

I read somewhere that more than 80% of google searches either resulted in a click on one of the first three results, an ad, or no click at all. Less than 5% ever resulted in loading the second page of results. Can't find the source now, so maybe the numbers are off. But I bet not. I've certainly told many people that there are multiple pages to the search results, to their surprise. That said, going to page 10 of results on Google can be amusing. -- http://2blog.kreme.com
