That or the search engines themselves implement their own fediverse instances just for the purposes of indexing results. At a certain point if the platform becomes relevant enough I think we could see that happen.

I think they'd probably prefer instances that they have control over to reduce the avenues for a third party to manipulate the results. Otherwise they have to trust whoever runs the search instances.
