1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%

@arstechnica Essentially, web will be replaced by #google question box.
As this experience is not based on index per se, and not on a results of search from that index, projects like #Kagi will have a difficult times - either by loss of access to public search "AP|", or by absence of such results list as a thing.
As other search providers will follow the suit, it may require to run #YaCy or other similar software just to get classic search experience based on search results list.
