At least there would be a non-stop public fight over it, instead of just having to swallow whatever the corpos which captured the government want to put in their search result.

I imagine there'd be even more bribery if search was run by a government.

If search was provided by a government run by a functioning country with strong democratic roots - AKA the west excluding the US - political parties messing with search would cause them to lose voters. Bribery only increases that effect in an actually working structure.
