# Open Web Index Manifesto

## 1. One search engine is not enough!
## One search engine is not enough!

Europe’s digital economy and civil society are virtually dependent on non-European businesses. This is particularly evident with regard to search engines, the cornerstone of our digital information infrastructure. Google currently dominates the market, leading to dependencies and economic damage that are no longer acceptable.

The market has failed in this respect. For more than ten years, we have been dependent on a single search engine, and no other company has been able to challenge it. We do not foresee the market regulating itself in the future.

## 2. An open index of the web would set the stage for information autonomy in europe’s economy and society
## An open index of the web would set the stage for information autonomy in europe’s economy and society

Restoring choice to the search engine market will mean putting prerequisites in place at the European level as a foundation for pluralism and competing search engines. Merely establishing a publicly funded competing search engine would not be appropriate, as this would only create a further monolithic structure.

The open source, open access and open data communities were essential to enabling the web as we know it today and have become the main drivers of the digital economy. A further key element that we currently lack is open access to the information distributed across the web.

To be clear, we are not seeking a government-funded alternative search engine – we want to enable innovation in the business world and civil society by providing searchable web data.

## 3. Our objective: an EU-funded global index of the web
## Our objective: an EU-funded global index of the web

The key to a European digital information infrastructure would be an EU-funded, global, searchable index of the web open to competing companies, institutions and civil-society actors.
