A search for “gnu emacs” doesn’t return this result anywhere in the first ten pages.

That's not helpful, because we here don't need to search at all: we know where to find Emacs and its docs. The results of Google matter because reportedly more than 90% of people use it, and DDG is a very distant 5th with its 0.65% share. > I'd put the blame right at Google's doorstep. Please do, but please not here. We here can do nothing about it.
