Search engines guarantee to deliver useful results based on our queries. Yet, increasingly, evidence suggests that algorithms may amplify existing biases, creating a scenario where dominant viewpoints receive preferential treatment the search landscape. This phenomenon, known as algorithmic bias, undermines the neutrality that is fundamental to inf
