People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays (lemm.ee)

Federated search is possible but has not gotten a lot of attention yet.

If you're talking about YaCY, apparently that's pretty much useless right now from what I've heard. ~Cherri

There's actually a lot of theory and early work out there on the topic of federated search. While existing search aggregators like Searx and YaCY certainly qualify as federated, search infrastructure built from the ground up with decentralization in mind would look very different.
