European values are inherently unbiased. What's the problem? o.O

There's no such thing as an unbiased yet useful search engine. The very act of choosing which article to put at the top is a value judgment, therefore a bias. The only way to make things "unbiased" would be to rank the matches randomly, and that would be useless.

This is just an index on which different search engines with different priorities can be built.

Well, I would rather like to have visibility into the ranking algorithm, and to be able to control the resultset ordering.

So would the SEO people. But even disregarding that problem, to have a halfway decent search ranking you're going to need deep learning, and you'll get a model that is largely opaque.

Heh! You've mistaken me for a marketer, I think.

When I said I wanted control over the ranking, I meant as a user. Tell me what parameters I can rank on; give me a UI that makes it reasonably easy to express a ranking. That's it.

I hope UI design and stuff is orthogonal to the construction of an open index. I think this could be very interesting.

Well, there are topics which are not legal or in line with EU values to be mentioned, once you start removing content then it is no more unbiased.
