> Ask the search engine Ecosia about “Paris to Prague” and flight booking websites dominate the results. Ecosia’s CEO Christian Kroll would prefer to present more train options, which he considers better for the environment. But because its results are licensed from Google and Microsoft’s Bing, Ecosia has little control over what’s shown. Kroll is ready for that to change.

While I think Google sucks right now and we need something new, this specific reason is so dumb. Unless I add the word "train" or "air" etc. I would much rather be shown either all options or the one that I care about most (if it's flying, then so be it - the search engine can't and shouldn't try to filter out options FOR me without my consent)

Respectfully, the search engine is "allowed" to do what it wants to for its business purpose. In Ecosia's case, that is to prefer environmentally sound modes of travel, sites, or businesses. And that's fine! What it means is that it might not be the search engine for you or for me. And that's fine too!
