By "replace" do you maybe mean "alias"?

In any case, the problem is that anything else is also censored. DuckDuckGo stopped indexing RuNet altogether and Google is... Google.

It's literally rewriting search queries to avoid showing putin in negative context, when people search for "khuilo" or "bunker grandpa", "main thief" etc.

Does the word “alias” somehow make the process kosher?

It is not the gotcha you think it is.

Not sure I understand what you mean, what "process"?. There shouldn't be any "gotchas" unless you are naive about how public service search engines operate.

Your comment tries to dismiss the argument by using softer terms like “alias” (and whataboutism but that’s a whole nother issue).

I am telling you that the word “alias” is not some gotcha that absolves Yandex of their actions like you imply.

You are letting your imagination run a bit too wild (:

Replace, alias or add negative prompts. Multiple ways of converting one prompt to the other.
