Search engines guarantee to deliver useful results based on our queries. Yet, increasingly, evidence suggests that algorithms can reinforce existing biases, creating a scenario where certain viewpoints dominate the search landscape. This phenomenon, known as algorithmic bias, undermines the neutrality that is fundamental to information retrieval.

Search engines control the flow of information, shaping our understanding of the world. But, their algorithms, often shrouded in secrecy, can perpetuate and amplify existing societal biases. This bias, arising from the data used to train these algorithms, can lead to discriminatory results. For instance, a search for "best doctors" may frequently f
