This is a very low-information announcement here but if this is taken to the extreme, it means that DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and many other so-called "alternative" search engines are going to either have to look for a new provider of results, or die.

At the end of the day, it’s still an agent searching the web like a person, and its results are only good if search is decent.
