Guidelines 05/2019 on criteria of the Right to be Forgotten in search engines

82. In principle, it is very unlikely that search engine providers can use this exemption to reject Article 17 GDPR delisting requests.

83.  It must be further emphasised that a delisting request supposes the suppression of certain results from the search results page provided by the search engine provider when the name of a data subject is normally used as search criteria. The information remains accessible using other search terms.
