This week, we’re joined by Ruby Au, Head of North America at Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees with its ad revenue. In this episode, Au explains Ecosia’s environmentally-focused mission, dives into the troubled relationship between search and privacy, and predicts what the search landscape will be like in 5 years.

Search is central to our daily lives. In fact, we can’t get enough: last year we saw an all-time high in searches across the web. Yet search doesn’t get talked about much (beyond what Google is up to, anyway). But there’s much more happening behind the search box.

The original Search Wars in the late ‘90s saw one player emerge victorious. But almost three decades later, there’s a lot of unrest in the new Search Wars. From the “AI-ification” of search to the impact of upstart, privacy-focused search engines, new battles have emerged in an effort to make search less monolithic and more democratic. Yext Talks: Search Wars is here to dive into all things disrupting search as we have known it for so long – as well as what the future of search will look like.
