    My wish would be for a free search engine, not a meta search engine, but it doesn’t seem like there is much interest for that, mainly because it highly demanding in terms of complexity, but most importantly resources to run it.

    I feel like that would be more easily gameable.

    I’m sorry, what does that mean?
