maybe, maybe not. they could argue that most web sites want to be found 
and search is the most common way, so it's an assumption they make which 
they would claim is reasonable.

isn't there a "right to be forgotten" directive in eu now, which allows 
a person/institution to be removed from searches in the eu? so, opt out, 
not opt in.

also, they have bigger and better lawyers than everyone else, which is 
probably the most important thing when deciding who is right and wrong.
