The decision rules that it would be Google's responsibility to filter search results, instead of the responsibility of actual page removing private data. So you can find the data if you know where to look at, just don't use Google?

From the decision:

"... the activity of a search engine consisting in finding information published or placed on the internet by third parties, indexing it automatically, storing it temporarily and, finally, making it available to internet users according to a particular order of preference must be classified as 'processing of personal data' within the meaning of Article 2(b) when that information contains personal data and, second, the operator of the search engine must be regarded as the 'controller' in respect of that processing, within the meaning of Article 2(d)."

Hopefully replying to requests will be sufficient. Otherwise, even simply the obligation to detect that there is something the law requires to be removed will be a new burden on search engines and any similar services.

I think the problem is that if it isn't on Google it's highly unlikely people will find it unless they were looking for it. If your fear is people accidentally discovering it while doing a search on you (e.g. an potential employer) removing it from Google is key.

it's both. if the original site changes the data, you still need/want to remove it from caches, be it google, wayback machine, other search engines, etc. it's going to be a mess.
