Google doesn't just misdirect. Google completely hides most search results. Try it yourself in the next three minutes.

From "Bright Insight"s 14 minute Rumble Video.
Google and Bing searches routinely give result tallies in the millions
but when you seek them, they're not there.
A controversial topic search like "climate change" has over a billion results
but after a few dozen pages, you hit a blank.
Click on the "see more results" button and a few more pages appear.
Somewhere around page 45, you hit the second blank and there is no way forward.
Mostly mainstream media results populate the pages you found and the other billion
cannot be reached.

This didn't use to be the case.
I remember going into the hundreds some years ago out of curiosity.
A more independent engine like BRAVE doesn't post the number of results.
It's entirely reasonable to truncate the results for the average person
but wrong to hide postings and knowledge beyond that wall.
