:There are plenty of competitors, but Bing and Yahoo are the biggest ones in the U.S.  There are plenty of others, though.  As you pointed out, some are partners.  DuckDuckGo is partnered with Yahoo, ixquick is partnered with Google, etc., but there are plenty of independent search engines still.  Ask.com,  webcrawler.com, yippy.com,  all seem to be independant competitors as well.  I would count Yandex as a big one as well, since although they are not as big in the U.S., they dominate the market in some other parts of the world.

:You're right, an unbiased search engine is needed, but Google is the censoring king, so until something better comes along, you're best off with almost anyone else.  As for a "blocked by google" search engine, (which sounds sort of like deletopedia for web searching), it would be very hard to do this, since Google isn't not forthright with their filtering and censoring.  It's a near idea, if it were possible, but I also doubt many people would use it, since Google blocks a lot of sites for good reason, too. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] ^{<small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small>} 13:07, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

If anybody would like to test this out with a new page creation and attempt to detail more specifically the how and the when, I would be happy to be a part.  I've seen some of the pages that I create, that are very small and with multiple links to them, show up in search as soon as roughly two weeks.  Longer pages with less links pointing to them take longer.

:I thought there is an MediaWiki extension to automatically build XML site maps that guide search spiders in crawling the site. We we use them? [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 13:20, 4 September 2016 (EDT)
