Re: Right to be remembered

The article is still there and if you search for the article and your name, it must still turn up.

If you search for the article using the name of the person who requested it to be de-listed with their name, it won't appear.

If you search for the article itself, it will appear.

Google, MS and co. are only supposed to remove it from results for the named person, all search results that would encompass the article, but not using that name / those names would still return the article.

So you could still find your dazzling comment.
