YES

At the end of 2023 (some time on December 31st PST), in a Safari incognito window, I will search 'manifold' (no quotes). If a Manifold Markets link is one of the first 5 links (not including links marked as sponsored) in the main-search result section, this will resolve YES, otherwise NO.

As of market creation manifold.markets is the 4th link when searched.

What counts as a main-search result?

I think this is best illustrated with a jankily drawn diagram! If after seeing this diagram, confusion remains, ask a question in the comments!

If Google substantially changes in such a way that the resolution criteria no longer make sense, I will resolve to the best of my ability based on the spirit of the market (feel free to ask hypotheticals to better understand what that would mean).

Due to the possibility of a subjective resolution, I will not purchase any shares in this market.

As of a short time ago it’s 5th!

Currently in 6th place (the image is heavily zoomed out in order to capture all the results)

Using a VPN connected to Cambodia and searching, Manifold appears 9th.

For some strange reason, Google thinks I'm in Estonia??? while using this VPN.

predicted NO

If there's incredibly high variability search to search, location to location, how would you resolve? Also where will you be doing your search from?

@spider I guess I can specify this more exactly. I'll edit the descriptions of my three markets to match this

I will resolve based on my first try at a Safari private browsing search from California (I'm not sure where in California I’ll be) some time on December 31st (probably in the morning, but I will not commit to that, it will definitely be on December 31st)

bought Ṁ20 of NO

It's currently the 13th result for me on 2023/11/14, Montreal QC, in an incognito tab.

predicted YES

@spider currently 3rd result from Seattle in an incognito tab so this is a solid clarification point
