Switzerland-based ProtonMail, yet another secure email service
holt:
I'm sure you're correct in everything; it appears I posted inappropriately in the wrong thread; sorry.
Deozaan:
This is now old news (Summer/Fall 2016), but I've only just learned of it:
How Google Nearly Killed ProtonMail.
I'll give you a hint: Google can control which search results show up when people do a search for "encrypted email." Guess which Gmail competitor didn't show up in the search results?

Is there a reliable way for consumers to defend against this? I've taken to searching more than one search engine, but this is a pain. Is there a reliable service that searches a lot of search engines and collates the results, so this becomes obvious?

I believe DuckDuckGo and Startpage do aggregate/metasearching. Dogpile is still around, which combines Google and Yahoo results. Qwant is a European search engine jumping on the "we won't track you" bandwagon.
Oh, looky what I found:

DuckDuckGo mentions nothing about aggregate search. And the last time I evaluated them, there were results missing from their searches that were in Bing and Google for the same search.
