I think many EU citizens have a distrust in other EU governments than their own, and this sounds like it would allow all EU governments to intercept all EU citizens.
From what I've seen so far you can tell it it's incomplete, tell it what errors you're getting etc, and it will agree and correct itself until you have a working application.
It looks like it's owned by a Russian company. Does that affect what it allows you to see? I notice for instance that a quick search for "War in Ukraine" returns top results from Russian news outlets calling it a "Military Operation".
Of course it affects what you see. Search engines are a form of soft power that states can't afford NOT to influence.
As a user of them, I make sure to use multiple engines (preferably with distinct indices and jurisdictions) when I research something essential that affects my long-term future. This is because I distrust how politics is done (industry lobbying).
Look at how Larry Page disappeared off to Fiji and just dropped out of the tech and business world. That to me says a lot about what's become of Google.

90% of all covid-19 deaths in Sweden have been people over the age of 70 [1] which is the only group of the population which have been quarantined. So it's arguable what difference a nation wide quarantine would have made.
Of those over 70, half of the deaths were in care homes and another 26% had home care [2].
Many of the workers in care homes have reported that their companies/bosses won't allow them to stay home when they're showing symptoms and some have been forced to work without protective equipment.
There have "only" been 42 deaths under the age of 50 [2].
Doesn't change the fact that the high death toll have been among the part of the population that were in fact in quarantine and would most likely have been the same had Sweden chosen a more common tactic.
They weren't under any effective quarantine. That was the big problem. I think that the biggest problem in Sweden has been that FHM (the public health agency) went out and said very clearly that the elderly were very vulnerable and needed protection. FHM thought that would be enough action from them. Unfortunately the care givers didn't take that seriously enough, so a lot of temporary workers came and went in the nursing homes without proper routines or equipment.
Tegnell didn’t believe in the existence of asymptomatic carriers so younger care workers were allowed to visit them freely as long as they didn’t show symptoms.
He made a huge mistake but is simply unwilling to admit it.
Care takers have been forced to work with symptoms, and there's even one known case where a woman went to work at her care home after testing positive for covid-19 and staying quiet about it.
This would not have changed with a different strategy.
Surprisingly many sites also change the content and layout of the site completely. Nvidia for instance turns from a site with company news and a clear path to download your drivers on the US site, to essentially an online store as it defaults to Swedish. The link to download drivers is then moved from the top of the site to the very bottom, where a link to the UK download site is discretely placed.
Google (and related services, such as youtube) allows you to use before:YYYY-MM-DD and after:YYYY-MM-DD to only show results that were created before or after a certain date.
I think you're missing the wood for the trees a bit there. The point is that there's so much on Google now - and a lot of it is effectively just crap data like pinterest posts - that it becomes increasingly impossible to find specific needles in that haystack. If I know at some point in the last 10 years I've read an article online that could have been written any point in the last 30 years, before and after dates don't really help.
You're suggesting spending a lot of time and hassle trying to wrestle with search engines instead of just keeping a bookmark that can be found and accessed very quickly?
Many of the things we consider just and right today were illegal at one point in time but change was eventually made because of people who would have been considered criminals.
